Dear all, As one can see, none of the dance pieces are written with two different types of ink. I initially thought that they indicate a different tuned instrument, as in Hassler ´s "Omnes Gentes", 9v. Bar 8. 2nd Choir sings alone, ink goes red. This is for a lute tuned a whole tone lower than the lute in "normal" ink. But, looking at the piece "Lieto Godea" by Gabrieli, on 80v. the ink just indicates a different choir and not a different tuned instrument. Perhaps Michael Eysertt played this music with a student friend, reading from the same page? As the duets later in the book show, where the second parts are written upside down, it is clear that the book was used by two lutenists to some extent. Best, Magnus
