Dear Eric, That's in interesting question! I am very interested in the early 16c repertoire and am also a great fan of Claudin - in general terms I would second Sean's opinion: you don't find that kind of music in the very early lute manuscripts - principally Pesaro, Thibault & Capirola. In British Library Ms. 31389 (Venice, c. 1520) there is an anonymous setting of the song "Altro non el mio amor" which is also known in later settings by Claudin and others. (An edition of Ms. 31389 edited by myself & John Robinson is almost ready for publication by the Lute Society).
There are several intabulations of chansons by Claudin by Marco Dall'Aquila in Munich Ms. 266. There is nothing there that could prove that they were composed pre- the Attaignant prints, but Marco was a mature musician long before the time of the Attaignant publications and so was Claudin, and Ms. 266 seems to have been copied from earlier sources. Did Claudin's chansons circulate in manuscript before the Attaignant prints? It certainly seems that Attaignant printed the music of his time that was already popular, but it's likely too that his work extended their popularity. I would like to know more about this too!
