Hello Nancy,
And thanks, Sean, for the information on using Firefox. I perhaps should
download it. I used it years ago.
I've not tried to download from Folger, Nancy.
Using Internet Explorer,
Yes, you can download from the London site, but as far as I can tell you
have to do it frame by frame. There is one continuous file at the top, but
I have been unable to download it.
Someone should ask the library how to do
it using IExplorer. Perhaps we do
not have the proper browser. Or perhaps one must login.
The library should be clearer on p[rocedures for downloading.
To download frame by frame with IE, start by using the first "pretty
picture" link. Open the first frame. You
advance through the frames by clicking on the arrow ("> NEXT") which appears
when
the cursor is inside the right page. To download the frame, put your cursor
at the bottom
of the frame. Little frames will appear across the bottom. With guides
below
|____| |____| this one |_____|
The one without the underline ("this one") is the current frame. Right
click on that
little frame and save as "Save picture as." Then advance (> NEXT) and do
the same.
When all frames are downloaded, one
can use Adobe Acrobat to combine all the frames into one continuous file.
That seems so involved, that surely there is an easier way.
Anyway it is an exciting resource, and includes some major lute print.
For the contents of prints, use Howard Mayer Brown, Instrumental Music
printed before 1600. Some prints have the individual titles spelled out in
the desriptive paragraphs.

Yes, thank you. It's a wonderful resource. I have not tried to print
anything from the British Museum but ran into a problem with the things
on the Folger Shakespeare Library site that was mentioned a few days
ago. I don't know if I was not doing the right thing or if they did
not want anyone to be able to get the individual pages with the music
on them. I managed to print a page that came out about 3 inches wide
and when I blew it up in photoshop the resolution was made it
impossible to read.
Does anyone have any solutions to this?
Nancy
Thanks for the link. There's some really interesting stuff there!
I didn't see a way to download files, though. Can one only view
them?
