Martin,
The earlier email accidentaly missed off my last to you............
M
Giuliano,
Might 'accenti muti' mean a slurred pair with the second note being
immediately muted (by the left hand) once sounded? Such a grace
marking is found in staff notation notated by a slur/legato between two
notes and a dot or dash above the second.

Sorry I missed the beginning of this thread, but Kapsberger talks about
"accenti" and gives musical examples - they are appoggiature.

When you tie two or more notes with the left hand fingers without
touching the string with the right hand fingers. And it is something
that can go together with trilli: con trilli et accenti muti.
