I wrote in my earlier message that "The chords in those parts seem to
differ from the harmony of the original pieces." I was thinking the
intabulation of Quem vidistis when I wrote that. Now it makes sense. In
that particular piece the red ink probably indicates a lute tuned a
whole tone lower.

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
