The other point, which I realize is slightly tangential to this topic, 
is we can create, and share, our own personal lute books, if we so 
choose. Most lute books were collections of pieces from diverse authors 
and there is no reason we can't, for our own pleasure, take a piece 
from Milleran here, and Vienna there, add in a piece or two from 
Kalmar, and have them all look as one. 

This was standard practice back in the day and, with the advent of both 
fully-editable scores (TAB, Django, Fronimo) and page-editable scores 
(PDF), we have traded exclusivity (and beauty in some cases) for ease 
of use and sharing. 

Personally, I use both and find one not worse, nor better, but it is 
good to have options.

 .. mark.
