We obviously have a difference of opinion here. I would be interested to see
Martyn's historical evidence. I have heard of using double fret loops for so
long that I took it as a given that this was always an option of varying
popularity, but the question being raised, I can't remember where I first got
that information. (It would have been 30 years ago or more and some of the
information available at that time was pretty sketchy.)

In the lute iconography, I don't recall ever seeing double frets, not to say
they haven't existed, just to say that I haven't seen any that I can recall.
That being said I'm curious to go through the iconography and look specify for
this.
