I'm trying to make rhythmical sense of this prelude (WeissSW 33.1)

This site:
<http://mss.slweiss.de/index.php?id=1&type=ms&ms=D-Dl2841-1&lang=deu&showmss=1>
gives a quarter note at the beginning of the tablature

And here there is no rhythmical value:
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60516846/Partitions_pour_luth_baroque/Musiques/Les_manuscrits/Dresde/Tablature/Volume_1/WD1_Suite_1.pdf>

The transcription gives mostly 16th notes, though they don't fit into a regular meter, at least at the beginnin.

Is this a sort of "prélude non mesuré"? Do the slurs give any metrical indication? Is there any way of knowing which notes fall "on the beat" in the first two "staves"?

Thanks.

Dennis
