I suspect one reason some lutenists made thick intabulations was that they were arranging the Top 40 hits of the day, and expected them to be played/heard by people who knew the originals very well, and would hear whether the g in the alto part was missing from the intabulation. So a way of showing you were a top-tier Lute Guy was to get all the notes onto the page of your intabulation. Lesser mortals could thin as needed. That's my theory, which is mine.

You might also consider dropping the alto-voice g, since it's the doubled note. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
