My point was they were played in consort with lutes, which has consequences for the temperament of the lutes. Same is true for the wind and keyboard instruments in l'Orfeo or the Maria Vespers. Lutes are not solo instruments only, when they go out in the world and meet their fellow instruments, they'll have to adapt. Or play out of tune/temperament.
