Does anybody know where I could get the sources to The Marsh Lute
Book by Michel Caprace in the archive? I emailed him and it
bounced. I have tablature working now, but what I originally wanted
was his MusiXTeX source for the 2 galliards using Wayne Cripps
modified TeX fonts.
According to an archived email Michel Caprace found his typestting
source files not mature for publishing. So unfortunately you can't get
access to his MusiXTeX code. I've been using and modifying Wayne
Cripps lute fonts myself for a few editions containing tablatures, for
example some songs from Orazio Vecchi's collection 'Selva di Varia
Ricreatione'. My M-Tx and lute font files are publically available.
For further information se WIMA's Vecchi page and the technical notes

I looked at gitene.mtp. What I need to do for six string lute is move
the fret numbers up on top of the barlines somewhere and change the
numbers to letters from the lute fonts for a conversion to french lute
tablature. Change to italian tablature would require reversal of
tablature only so I could easily figure this out from gitene.mtp, but
there is a variation in time symbols appearing above the fret numbers
and the fret number fonts themselves I would like to change. German
tablature needs a change in font symbols for frets and no barlines. So
five problems I need to figure out are:
1. How to move fret symbol to top of bar line
2. How to change font of fret symbol number or letter
3. How to put lute font symbols for courses beyond sixth for archlute,
theorbo and baroque lute below lowest barline
4. How to change font of time symbol
5. Special case of no barlines for german tablature
Can you offer any assistance in changing fonts of fret numbers and
time symbols, changing positions of fret symbols to top of barlines or
below lowest barline and turning barlines off?
I looked at tabdef.tex but I don't know how to change the tabbox for
fret number so it puts the fret number between barlines. Also I don't
know how to change fonts of fret symbols as I only see for example
E2100 in gitene.mtp for the first chord with the arabic numerals
appearing as given in the chord symbol. If I change the numerals to
letters they are undefined at \pnotes in gitenel.pmx. I have never
written any tex macros before and can only look each command in them up
to see what they mean and comment them out if I want to stop them from
being used like getting c++ code to compile.
