This piece is very problematic.
But why do you think that it is "obviously" a consort part?
Lyle Nordstrom has attributed many anonymous trebles to Johnson. Others have
serious doubts ...

Unibversity Library, which is obviously a consort part, but can, of course,
easily be adapted as a duet. But nothing in the manuscript points to that
destination, or did I miss something ?

A friend of mine is looking at different versions of Green Sleeves and
has asked me if I can help with dating early versions. I can't, but
maybe someone here can. He had thought that the William Ballet Lute
MS version was the earliest written one. It was compiled between
1595-1610. Does John Johnson's version for two lutes predate Ballet?
Thanks,
