But I did write

My observation was that if he had wished to simply refer to slurred
notes why not just write 'accent' - his use of 'accenti muti' might
mean something slightly different as I suggested. Just a possibility -
no more.....

Do you mean this (it was not easy to find out, what was written by
you):

Anyway, to me "accenti muti" do not sound like "dampening the second
note".
There is so much evidence of the "slurs", "stracini", in the Italian
theorbo litterature that I am (nearly) certain that Agazzari writes
just
this technique by his term "accenti muti".
All the best,
Arto
