If anyone who has not seen that interview with Nigel, would like a copy
I have some spares. Snail mail only, so if you think I don't have your
address include it.

There was an interview with Nigel North in a recent issue of the LSA
quarterly (xlv/2, summer 2010), where he referred to those written
out final
phrases with many flags in English manuscripts around 1600. IIRC he
said
that the fact that they are written out, doesn't mean you have to
hit each
note with your right hand. Rather, these groups of very fast notes
can be
slurred.
In a talk on French baroque lute music (Lute News 85, April 2008)
Anthony
Bailes mentioned the difficulties that Mersenne (1636) and Denis
Gaultier
(1669) met in indicating technical legato, and their respective
solutions.
With Mouton and Jeune Gallot, the curved line between two letters
remained
the standard sign for hammering-on.
