Does anyone have an opinion of the book Schule fur die Barocklaute by
Giesbert (date?) - apparently a tutorial ? For a beginner, would it be worth
borrowing through inter-library loan as a source of graded easy-intermediate
tunes.

Yes, an excellent book for beginners, even if you can't read the German.

Yes and a good exercise in reading gothic letters

Thicker frets can work very well, if you really want to get the
action down, you need to start with a thinner nut and thinner frets.
I like slightly thicker frets on the theorbo, thinner on renaissance
lute. They feel different.

Not really true that thicker frets have 'no drawback' - the use of
thinner frets (but still graduated by the same amount from lowest to
highest) allows the lute to be set more 'fine' than with thicker frets
ie the distance required to depress the string to the fingerboard is
less.
The news paper reviewer of last Staturday's St John wrote that organ,
cello and lute provided a good continuum. She watched too much
StarTrek, I suppose.

Dear friends,
Few days ago somebody asked me about lute music editions from XIX
century. But he asked me particularly about lute music editions which
were or are similar to e.g. Riemann's edition. Do you know something
about it?

One touches the strings with much less pressure than say, the guitar.
There is no need to push the string down so that it touches the
fingerboard. I find that I can adjust my touch to compensate for notes
that with more pressure, would sound sharp. When I first encountered
the
I think we have to be careful not to confuse two different issues
here. Using ever thicker frets to compensate for a warped neck does
not fix the neck; if it's an ongoing process it will eventually need
to be addressed. Aside from that, at what point the cables going
around the neck become too
Also, isn't there a greater possibility that fingering at a thicker fret
will distort the pitch for that given note according to the pressure
applied?

An interesting conversation for me because I watch you word out the
differences and I get to live them. To wit:
My tenor lute (a Gerle by M. Haycock) is set up with a very low action
which I have gotten very used to over the last 8 years. On the other
hand it is very difficult to refret
