The "quint" should be tuned to "+" ("et") which looks like the "t' that is
given by mistake in the instructions for the top course. That is, one tunes
the top course to the FIFTH fret on the II course("+"), not
the fourth fret on the II course (="t").. So, (G)_d_d_a_d'_g'.
Notice that the first cipher and others have lines above them. So the first
note is I:h. (="k" withline in German tablature)
here are Newsidler's names for the courses:
I: Quint Saitte
II: Klein Saitte
III: Mitl Saitte
IV: Klein Brummer
V: Mitl Brummer
VI: Gross Brummer
