Dear lute friends, It's always the question what's the most useful manner for the research and for the musicians. In general, I mean it's the best to make a commented edition with concordances and explanations on the context and the book itself. I'm preparing to publish the Swiss sources step by step. The next - when my book "The Lute in Europe 2" is finished and the edition of all pieces written by notator B of the Rhétorique is done - after CH-BEa HA 123 (see http://www.accordsnouveaux.ch/de/DownloadD/files/CH-BEa_123.pdf) will be CH-Bu F.IX.53 ad CH-SAM FP/M 1 & 2 which I already have payed or I took the photographs and got the permission to publish them for free on the net.
An other online facsimile I made together with François-Pierre Goy is here - for free: http://www.accordsnouveaux.ch/de/DownloadD/files/B-Bc_FA_VI_10.pdf Compare the old facsimile (Editions Culture et Civilisation) and our new online facsimile: What's the more useful edition in your opinion? I'm interested in comments.
