The Cambridge Manuscript seems to indicate that the latest Dowland of the
time was grouped together with F. DaMilano in the same book.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Is 8c really the standard? (fwd)
I would think that in the old times, a lutenist would mostly play
music from his or her time. They obviously would not play
anything from their future, but I am sure they were mostly
not too interested in music of the past, except perhaps for
a few master works. I doubt that lutenists were into "early music"
the way we are. Which means that if we are really trying to
recreate the sprit of those times we to should probably select
one time period and stick with it.

I'm a little perplexed by this discussion. Is the assertion being made
that
lutenists who played 10c lutes at the inception of these instruments only
played music specifically written for 10c and ceased playing music that
appeared before unless they also had a 6c, 7c or 8c instrument?
In the 10c repertoire a given piece of music will sometimes go several
measures without anything happening in the bourdons. Would not these
passages be subject to the same problems supposedly accompanying
(accompaning?) the playing of 6c, 7c or 8c music on the 10c?
