Answers to why this is so will necessarily be guesswork. What can be stated, however, is that Lautenkonzert as a genre implies doubling of the parts (Radolt, Hinterleithner et al). BTW you could also say that the violin doubles the upper voice of the lute. It depends on which instrument is

If you read the blog a bit further it seems that Sting is probably not the best selling classical CD of the year that is in fact the The Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra who are the top selling budget and mid-price artists. I think Sting fits in quite nicely there; maybe they should work together

Hi Elly- just had a look at this; it's a g-flat (11th fret on a g lute) Molinaro used a u for 11, X for 10, and 13 with a curved line underneath linking the 1 and 3 to make it very clear that he does, indeed, want an a-flat at the 13th semitone (13 fret if you're lucky). Last note in that

When getting an archlute, get one that can be either double or single strung, and have different divisions, e.g. 6+8, 7+7 8+6, etc. 8+6 is great for Bach (low F and F sharp; C and C sharp). 6+8 great for earlier repertory. More holes; less poles. Or buy 6 archlutes. dt To get on or off this
