Dear lute netters,

as I have posted some time ago. Mylius is most famous for his corrupt versions 
of two Dowland pavans.

A few minutes ago I have compared a Ballet by Vallet (Volume I, p. 53) and the 
copy in Mylius (page 90).

Apart from a single missing chord at a line break the version in Mylius is an 
exact copy of Vallet - including all errors.

This is very strange. I assume the engraver must have been very competent and 
probably (sort of) understood tablature.
The editor - whoever he was - must have been very incompetent.

By the way, has anybody "reconstructed" the two Dowland pavans? I have done 
that twenty years ago and would like to see other versions.

Rainer
