Dear Robert, Diana Poulton wrote about this in her article 'Graces of play in renaissance lute music' (Early Music vol. 3 no.2 April 1975) where she refers to the second edition of the 'Intavolatura di Lauto dell Divino Francesco da Milano et dell' eccelente Pietro Paulo Borrono' printed in Milan in 1548 which at the time belonged to Geneviève Thibault and is now in the Bibliothèque National de France: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k12800211 This version contains the ornament signs using two tablature letters contained within a pair of brackets. The excerpt from the 'regola' at the beginning of the print is translated by Poulton as follows: 'where a circle is found ( ), two fingers must be placed on the string and the finger on the lesser number must be held firm. Pull down the string with the finger which is on the higher number as if the voice were notated on the lesser of the two frets. This is done because the lute will sound sweeter. But the said circle is one stroke only.' She notes that in Wyssenbach's Francesco / Borrono print of 1550 'the same half circles that had appeared in Borrono's compositons in the earlier book' are reproduced.

Thanks very much Rainer. My memory is apparently not so good these days. I remember now having seen this in an unreadable copy. This one is better. But what version did Wyssenbach use for his ornamented edition?
