Yes - that's said by the preface. The one time I had a singer to sing along to the music she complained the words/melody wouldn't fit the music. Therefore I concluded the Asterix would rather mark points of orientation for singers who would know the tune. But of course you are right. Regia Pietas is intended for singing and playing (apart from the preludes) Best wishes Thomas To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
