I don't know...transcription is transcription. Without specific period precedent, like BWV 995, I don't perceive modern transcription for lute very different from that for 6-string guitar. However, I have always wondered why modern guitarists shun baroque guitar music in favor of transcription from music for wholly dissimilar instruments like cello or violin.
