Thanks for that. Are there staff notation versions flying around online? Yes, I doubt this will be satisfactory for our standards, but if a singer asks a rather baroque theorbo player to do a renaissance lute player's job, knowing full well that he does not play the instrument, then we can safely assume that some concessions can be made. This I suppose is not quite unlike asking a pianist to play a harpsichord!
