Hello everybody,
I wonder why the ground to The Marygolde Ellis Lawrey, Dd.2.18, f. 23r
is copied for a 5c instrument (5 lines only).
It is NOT for a 5c bandora which existed in those days.
Any idea, anybody?

PS: The treble is written on staves wit 5 lines, too, but uses the 6th
course.
Probably just because there is no need for 6 lines (there is only one
note on the 6th course in the treble part in the chord at the very end
of the piece). It saves space too so both pieces fit on the same page.
