Not that they don't deserve it, but it was not common practice. Could "F.P." be Francis Pilkington and the stump a type of music piece, maybe a ground?

It is known only by name and by one surviving piece of music (GB-Och Mus.532), headed ‘Alman R. Johnson to the stump by F.P.’ (ed. A. Sundermann, Robert Johnson: Complete Works for Solo Lute, London, 1972). This is written in six-line French tablature and shows that the stump had seven fingered string courses tuned like a Renaissance lute, with eight extra bass diapasons. >> >> Rainer >> >> On 18.12.2018 21:03, Leonard Williams wrote: >>> I saw in an older Lute News supplement that Pilkington (possibly) >>> composed a piece for the stump.
