Dear Rainer,
It doesn't sound awfully wrong to me. Furthermore, if you play just the
bass line you will see that the voice moves in exactly the same fashion
in bars 5 and 6.
Best,
Matthew

I am currently playing through the music supplement 100 (English Lute
Society) and noticed some thing I had not noticed before.
CLM 56 appears as

in the Poulton edition (1974) and in John's version in the supplement.
I think it must be changed to (bar 4)

1) It sounds awfully wrong
2) Dowland did not write such harmonies - Cutting did :)
3) compare bar 2
What do you think?
