This unfortunately doesn't work in my browser here, even if I allow
scripts from cuerdaspulsadas.es (which I normally don't do ...)
This "feature" probably needs way more Google spyware scripts than I'm
willing to run on my computer :-(

So this is a paedagagic project rather than a scientific project.
Then kudos to the student and their teacher.
But still, wouldn't it be pedagogically more interessting to pick
a target object where we know how it's supposed to be? By picking
a vihuela you can't really say "sse, this is how far we got" since
nobody knows how the "real thing" was.

Anyway, thank's for the link and for supporting the students
