Thanks for telling us about this! You must spend all your time surfing the
net.
I actually have a copy of this ms. It is facinating and the source which
give the most comprehensive list of funny names by which Castilian cifras
were known.
Keep up the good work.

Following on from the discussion about Foscarini's notation before Christmas I
wonder what other people on this list would make of a passage in one of
Bartolooti's passacaglias - the one on p.17 of his Libro Primo.
On the bottom stave of the first page (17) there is a passage in thirds all
I've always assumed these were just light strums across two adjacent strings;
simplty an extension of just strumming on three (eg the 630 on the first beat
of the fourth full bar of this line).
As, I think, you imply, one needs to be a bit careful not to strum any other
surrounding
Grazie!
I never realized all this things.
I must flag up baroque guitar in case I'm missing something.

You are probably right - Bartolotti is very meticulous on the whole and
includes far more details about right-hand technique than most.
It is just that the piece by Foscarini that Stuart was commenting on includes
similar passages in thirds which Fosco has indicated are to be played lute
Them's my sentiments entirely!

If you go right
The Santa Cruz manuscript hasn't been published in facsimile but the Lute
Society of America has a microfilm of it. You would have to be a member to
borrow it.

Thanks for the info.
I should have remembered the meaning of the Cifras. I have the Ribayaz book.
Another thing; Do you
I assumed that you have reversed Bartolotti so that he is facing Foscarini
as in the microfilm I have of the British Library copy and in the facsimile
edition he facing to the right!.
