Thank you for these replies. Very helpful. What I was wondering about
was a phrase in Vieux Gaultier's Tombeau de Mezangeau (bar 2, second
third and fourth notes) that is a damn sight easier to play using
hammer-on. To my biased ear it sounds more convincing too. In fact I
wonder if this might really be an ornament (from below) written out to
show exactly what the composer intended?
Best regards,
Bill

Absolutely. It suffices to look at the theorbo preludes of de Visee
in
the Saizenay Ms.

Possibly the straccini (spelling?) of the theorbists in the late
1600s? The big question is whether slurs were used by Dowland and
his contemporaries. In later baroque, you do get passages with a
slur sign over many notes, especially in preludes.
