[publishing] Additions

The new Dowland, Up merry mates, has an extended tenor solo with no
accompaniment except the lute, so I was inspired to transcribe the
lute tab into normal notation so that a keyboard player could play
it. I know lute players sneer at this, because to do a real keyboard
transcription you would have to look at all the voicings of the chords
and figure out which notes to let ring into the next chord, but it
really seemed to add something to our rehearsal. I haven’t figured
out how to make lilypond print the actual tablature, so there’s just
the notation, which means it probably isn’t well proofread.

I continued the transcription of the Gervaise fifth book with
“Huict Bransles de Poictou”.
