Dear Alain,

The mistake in the MIDI file is confirmed in the PDF file. He's
missed a minim from the Cantus (at the start of his 3/2 bar), so
everything is out by a minim for the rest of the piece.  It's
nothing to do with computers. :-)

It was Ian Harwood (President of the Lute Society), who despairingly
pointed it out to me.

All the best,

Stewart.
