Dear collected wisdon:
Can someone direct me to a copy of Purcell's Hornpipe on a Ground from
his Theater Music 3 The Married Beu?
this may be in stave or any tablature.
Thanks in advance,
George

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Transposing/transcribing in fronimo.
I use Fronimo constantly and cannot praise Francesco's efforts
enough
in terms of its usefulness for lute music. But in transposing and
transcribing, please take care that all work is checked thoroughly.
I
find that tablature characters are wrongly assigned at times, and
carefully applied slurs simply disappear. In mensural music,
transposing in Fronimo can be a real mess and I find that all rests
and
tied notes must be repositioned. Again, for lute music there is no
better program.

Subject: [LUTE] Transposing/transcribing in fronimo.
You may already know this, but transcription from one instrument (or
tuning) to another can be done pretty easily through fronimo. Say
you
start with a version for Baroque lute in ton ravissant. If you go to
F5/instrument, click on "transpose and transcribe" and then change
the
tuning to archlute (customized to fit whatever key you are using.
This
field doesn't use the "b" symbol, so you have to specify, e.g., Eb
as
D#, etc.) and hit OK, you will get a new version for the new
instrument.
Looking at the new version, you may need to tweak it a bit to make
it
playable, but that approach definitely works. I also use this
strategy
for converting from one sized lute to another. For example, suppose
you
have a ground written for bass lute in D. To rewrite it for, say, a
7
or
8-course or archlute in G, you start with the original version, go
into
F5/instrument and change the "first course" setting to D (the
default
setting is G), without hitting "transcribe or "transpose and
transcribe", then hit "apply"; then change "first course" to G and
choose "renaissance 7 course" or "renaissance 8-course" or
"archlute",
hit "transpose and transcribe", then OK, and you will get a new
version
for lute in G, which, again, you will usually have to tweak a bit.
I use a similar approach to convert pieces where the 6th course is
tuned down to F (or where other variant tunings have been used) to a
version for 7- or 8-course lute or archlute in standard tuning.
Under
f5/instrument, I first put in the custom tunings using "modify
custom
tuning" as necessary to make the piece sound correct when played in
fronimo. Then hit "apply". Then change to the tuning or instrument
you
want to change to, hit "transpose and transcribe", then "OK", and
you
will get the transposed version, which, again, will probably need to
be
tweaked to make it more playable.
