Hello,
A
Well I would think that if you do not have to play other pieces during
that gig, I would find it simpler to retune the theorbo without
re-entrant tuning.... and play straight from the Renaissance lute tab.

Thanks for that. Are there staff notation versions flying around
online?
Yes, I doubt this will be satisfactory for our standards, but if a
singer asks a rather baroque theorbo player to do a renaissance lute
player's job, knowing full well that he does not play the
instrument, then we can safely assume that some concessions can be
made. This I suppose is not quite unlike asking a pianist to play a
harpsichord!

happen have to a version for theorbo in French tab? Any advice
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
