All the Scottish lute manuscripts will be published with transcriptions sometime in the new year by Glasgow University. Otherwise, try a search engine for 'lute tablature' - you might find a site which tells you how to do it. I could set up a page, a wee tutorial, but I don't have the time the now. > "Come hither, my bony bird chuck" might just be "Come hither my > own sweet duck". I have never heard of these pieces. They don't sound very Scottish!

It fits the verses in the Percy folio manuscript beautifully. Where can I find directions for translating the tablature? There are some others I'd like to see translated. "Come hither, my bony bird chuck" might just be "Come hither my own sweet duck". In Simpson's 'The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music' there two tunes given under this latter title, but the evidence is for either being the correct tune is very weak.

And it's all free! This is excellent resource material. The Acrobat pages print perfectly on a PostScript laser printer, the Scorch files play (with real feeling, Rob, real feeling!) and the Website is excellently constructed, fast, reliable and provides free what others try to charge $5 a sheet to download.
