Bernd,

    Thank you - interesting article.  It will make my beginning continuo 
student very happy :-)

    I was surprised by Hill's statement that the % sign is an indication to 
strum with the thumb.  I assume he was simply unfamiliar with the "p-i-m-i" 
explanation in the Kapsperger and Piccinini prefaces, but is it possible that 
there are other sources using this cipher to represent a strum?  Is there 
something in HK's Libro primo d'arie?  (I've seen the book, but don't have it.)
