Dear Martin,
???????????
So you say,
there is an undocumented and invisible ornament that cancels the meaning of the hold
"slur" and indicates vibrato?
As evidence you offer a book published 5 years later and books by others -
published later.
I would propose to apply Ockhams razor: this is an error.

With large hands it can be played on a 59cm lute - if you use the 2nd finger
instead of the 3rd.

Dear Rainer,
Bar 7 is unplayable on a lute of any size if you try to hold all the notes. In
fact I think it's likely that he intends a vibrato on the first note of the
bar. There are no signs for vibrato in this book, but there are in the 1620
book (Regia Pietas), and the vibrato sign associated with notes in high
positions where we might have expected the same note(s) in a lower position.
Have a look at Psalm 135 on p.135. Piccinini and M.Galilei do the same thing
(without any signs).

Dear Rainer,
agreed, when we take the pinky for the fifth finger, but where's the problem
(unless one trie to play this on a 67 cm scale)?
Addendum: Bar 7 IS unplayable on a 67cm lute - at least for my hands.
Why doesn't he use the 7th course for the A?
