I've looked up the 1574 edition, but it doesn't contain rececari, and the passemezzo La Milensa must be a different piece as it doesn't contain the given measure.
My interest was to see how 11th or 12th frets would be written in German tablature. The 10th fret on 1st course 9 with a dash above it. Notes on the 11th and 12th frets would have to be letters with double dashes above them. I ran through the entire book but couldn't find any of them. As for the measure from Recercar Terzo, XI could be a typo. Could be XII, could just as well be X. I for one would opt for X. XI in the measure from Pass'e mezo La Milanese does certainly not mean XII. Could be XI, indeed, could just as well be X. I'd opt for X again, considering XI a typo, because I couldn't find 11th or 12th frets at all with Newsidler.
