Dear Magnus,
Major Courantes (on p. 6) in the same book, he only uses
the open string - letter a
the fifth fret - letter f
the seventh fret -letter h
"Couranta a 3 literis".
Does anyone know if this "technique" was ever used by other lute composers?
Yes, there is some Canto angelorum (or so) in the Ms Brno 372:
I'll send it to you soon.

Aha, have a look here, piece 38

That is wonderful music. Though not the whole suite is using only 3 tablature
letters-
If you don't have it, I can send you the pieces.
