What you are looking at is a piece written in "German Organ Tablature". Dueben used it as a very compact score representation of the pieces. The letters indicate notes, the horizontal lines indicates octaves, and the figures above the lines indicate time values (a quick-and-dirty explanation). There are several "works" in the collection where we have both the individual parts and the german organ tablature score. You can search for "works" that has lute parts by using "Scoring", "contains" lt. An interesting piece is http://www2.musik.uu.se/duben/presentationSource1.php?Select_Dnr05 for soprano, two viola d'amore and lots(!) of continuo. There are two tablature parts for (as I recall it) "something" in d-minor tuning, tiorba plus three basso continuo parts. They probably did not write out the parts just for fun, it was probably performed with just that, e.g. soprano, 2 viola d'amore and 6(!) continuo instruments. There is also a piece by Buxtehude (Herr wenn ich nur dich habe) where we have a basso continuo part and a tiorba tablature, very interesting to see what the tiorba player did of the b.c. part. I'll se if I can locate the facsimile of that as well. Actually the Dueben collection is the major source for all Buxtehude's non-organ works. If you have any particular question there is a mail address on the web pages, or you could ask me; I implemented the stuff :-) Happy browsing! /Jan On 20 nov 2012 17:27 "WALSH STUART" [1]<s.wa...@ntlworld.com> wrote:
Jan I had a look too....and looked at some of the tablature.

Is it for theorbo?

If you start here [6]http://www2.musik.uu.se/duben/Duben.php then select DCDC Basic Search and select "Dueben G" from the drop down menu "Composer" you will get access to some facsimile of what "The Old Ones" actually played from, among the some pieces for voice and BC written by Gustav Dueben. Lots of good and interesting music in the collection.There is very little tablature bur several parts labelled "Liuto" or "Tiorba".
