I know how to fix it:
rewrite it, and some of you send me their fixes when I last asked
about Besard last year (was it?). But looking at the music, it begs
the question: why? Why so many errors and/or poor writing, why bother
to publish it? Is there a theory out there, someone?
I am not very familiar with this particular source but it doesn't surprise
me that it is apparently a mess. I can think of a number of baroque guitar
tablatures which are pretty useless. Have you ever looked at Pesori?.
And then there is Dalza.
Have you read Martin shepherd's article "Was Dalza really weird?"
There are fairly obvious practical reasons why there might be a large number
of
printing errors. As far as the music is concerned it seems Besard was not
a professional musician. A bad case of vanity publishing. Is the book
engraved or printed from type?
