Capirola himself is the source of Capirola's ornaments. Two dots ABOVE
the tab cipher (not the finger dots below) means a simple mordent- quick
pull off to note below & hammer back on. A "ghost" cipher made up of
dots indicates the opposite- hammer on to the dot-cipher from the main
note followed by a pull-off back to the main note. Can't recall if
Capirola has any other ornament signs. Typical written out fully
articulated trill stuff. I always throw in some of my own ornaments, but
with Capirola he often gives you enough.
Judenkunig I'm not familiar with. Other more learned streams of the
Lute Fountain of Holy Wisdom will no doubt supply you with more
secondary material.

Dear Fount of All Knowledge,
I am working on some early C16 lute music (Capirola, Judenkunig . . .)
and wonder what ornaments, if any, might be used when playing it.
Can anybody point me at a source that might help?
Thanks,
Bill
