Tristan, You can always turn the Italian tablature upside down and play
   backwards. It's been done.<g>
   Perhaps an efficient way to learn Italian tablature is to imagine it
   representing the fingerboard as your teacher shows you fingerings while
   seated opposite.  Those pitches are "upside down" also, but in terms of
   the lute will feel "right-side up."  Tablature is finger notation, and
   it is French tablature that is upside down.<g>  Oh well. . . .

   Dude, you know, everything is upside down? It's just very unintuitive
   for me if the notes go up, Italian tabs go down.
   I'll take a facsimile too, but I'd rather set in in French then myself.
