Hi anton, I almost see a daily digest of your mails. I just clicked on the link below and it shows a page which promises to give a lute tablature, but in stead gives a score for 2 guitars in staff notation. the same for all other links or it gives an error page (like the italian ground of gibbons for example). So before you send a mail to this list, check if all links work and point to the correct files. anyway, the website shows a nice link "recent changes". anybody who is interested in your new contributions can simply look on this website and view which new additions are added. No need, to send an email to hundreds (thousands?) of lutenists for every new addition. Many lutenists are by the way solo players and I assume they have less interest in duets, trios or quartets. So transcriptions for one lute, as many composers of the past often made, could be of more interest for many players perhaps. I would certainly have more interest in such transcriptions! best regards Taco Walstra ============================ My answer: Ok, I wrote that IMSLP always check the uploads and need at least one day. Because I often make a transcription for guitar too, it seems that IMSLP cannot handle with the same file name. But sorry if you feel that my more hundreds of Intavolations for 2-4 lutes in any tunings are to much, I will not upload any more Intavolations. My work was thought for the luteplayers in any level. Not everybody can play the English Treble Ground duets or the very complicated Terzi duos or some else. If I look at mediafire, where I first uploaded my Intavolations, there are more than 15000 downloads! So I dont understand your opinion about solo lute players. May be,- but thats one of my reasons I do the Intavolations! I was 10 years teacher for classical guitar and later 15 years for the Renaissance lute. And my experience with all the hundreds of pupils was that they could benefit a lot of ensemble playing. Rhythme, Hearing, Playing prima vista, and a lot more. But a crucial effect is the sound effect of more lutes in an ensemble. Because of the less technical demand the lute players in an Ensemble has an overwelming soundeffect. But I dont want to defend my work. So if you feel so, I dont will upload any more Intavolations. I think my announcements are not too much, when I have a look at some gibberish you can find here. (More than one has complained this!) But ok, why should I make any uploads more? So all lute players who has downloaded my work, will give thanks to you!
