Do we know whether the 'split-course technique' as it is sometimes termed nowadays was a notation to indicate that only one particular string of an octave course was actually to be employed, or whether it was pedantic intabulation to indicate in which octave the composer/arranger wished to show the strict counterpoint theoretically fell? Or perhaps some other indication....... Grateful for a source. MH __________________________________________________________________

So Capirola as far as I know did not employ split octave courses. Where does Fuenllana mention splitting the courses? I have not found any reference. As I have no complete edition of Bakfark where does he use this technique? Can anyone inform? -- References 1. mailto:[2]lvansa...@gmail.com To get on or off this list see list information at [3]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. mailto:lvansa...@gmail.com 2. mailto:lvansa...@gmail.com 3. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
