The djvu files are pretty easy to manipulate. Get WinDjView and print to a pdf file (you need a pdf printer driver). If anyone wants these I can post them on a site and load ALL of them there. They are typically 10-50MB each. I have a site on dolcesfogato.com that I have posted some others to and

I just posted all 10 of the Grüssau manuscripts from the Uniwersytet Warszawski in Poland. I have included both the PDF files for Mf 2001a/RM 4135a through Mf 2011/RM 4143 and the link to the originals at the university. The links do not seem to be behaving themselves today. I do not know if

There was another article about Vallet's fingerings by Laudon Schuett published in the LSA Quarterly not so long ago. He reaches essentially the same conclusions as Sandman that Vallet chose fingerings primarily for their musical effect. I'm curious about the origin of this article as well. On
