I was playing through the 1611 Kapsperge book and I came across the
   Corrente 7. Toward the end of the piece there is an 11 marked in the
   bass for the eleventh course B flat. This I think is the only instance
   of an eleventh course in the book. I was under the impression that
   Kapsperger wrote for the 10 course lute, and there was perhaps no such
   thing and an 11 course lute in that tuning at the time. Could he have
   been implying an Archlute? What is going on here?
