As for baroque lute, I'd certainly prefer patterns like 1st fret 1st finger, 2nd fret 3rd finger or 2nd fret 2nd finger, 3rd fret 4th finger or 1st fret 1st finger, 3rd fret 4th finger. Find it useful on the renaissance lute, too. Mathias To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
