Hi Anton, Taco, and all,
RSS feeds have been an elegant and non-intrusive way for consumers to
keep abreast of newly published documents for some time now. Here is an
example: http://musickshandmade.com/lute/collections/feed.rss.
If you follow that link you will see a link to a transcription of
Arthurs dump from the Marsh LB. Following a recent discussion on dumps
on this list, I decided to try to recap the current state of knowledge
on the Dump as a type of music and collected various quotes and
documents to that effect. Unfortunately, not only is the evidence fuzzy
at best, but I was lead in the direction of an even more elusive Irish
topic and instrument: the tiompan. Maybe some of you will find that
information entertaining, and perhaps some of the documents useful. I
also linked in the facsimile images of the piece from the Braye MS.
Any feedback on the dump would be of considerable interest to me, gross
as it may sound. I have not been able to check the latest Grove
information for instance which is a real shame.

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,
anton, I didn't write that I don't like your intavolations or guitar
arrangements. Please don't be so quickly offended by what I wrote and
please do continue your work. I only asked what the purpose is of
sending emails for every addition or minor change to a piece, while
there are so many better alternatives for getting the attention of
your efforts like a webpage with a "latest additions page", a rss xml
feed, twitter or simply a separate mailing list. It's just an idea,
not a critic on what you do.

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!
