There are passages in pieces by Vallet where he indicates a thumb-index alternation in diminutions on the 4th to 6th courses of the lute but this does not mean that he was using thumb-in (since he seems to specifically to deride the use of this in his introduction). There are no indications for the use of the middle finger in Ballard's two books of lute tablature. His style is much more based on 'accords brisés' so the question of what right-hand fingerings to use for diminutions is less prevalent.
Ballard has no ornaments, no left hand fingering, no double dots, no slurs, ... Ballard was printed with moveably types, Vallet was engraved. Rainer To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
