Although I like to have printed facsimiles and editions in general, I
find PDF's more and more practical for browsing quickly through the
music and printing only what you want to play. I am actually
considering buying a large table so I can read straight from the pdf,
even in concert..

Dear Chris:
I'm writing in response to Hector's lute list posting on the
subject of
the Herbert facsimile under consideration for publication. I
would buy
the Lute Society facsimile edition, and would actively encourage
others
to do so as well.
There is a certain misconception that, because pdf facsimiles may
be
readily available from libraries, there is no longer a need for,
nor a
demand for, good quality printed editions of lute music. I have
observed that while lute players love to collect music, and also
love
to get free music, there is simply no replacement for a
well-designed
printed edition that includes essays on historical background and
concordances.
I'll wager that most downloaded facsimile editions are simply
archived
on hard drives and remain there unused. And as much as
technophiles
love to tout the latest i-pad gizmos, nothing can replace real
paper
music on a music stand. I'm not the only person who has
observed that
information from a printed page is mentally processed much more
effectively than information on a backlit screen.
Yes, please do what is necessary to advance the Herbert facsimile
project.
Best wishes,
Ron

Good afternoon,
In reply to the original question, the Lute Society just sent an
email
to its membership to assess whether or not there is any interest
on
this. Your reply to the message below may determine the fate of
this
project. If interested simply reply to the secretary at:
[6]lute...@aol.com <[1]mailto:[7]lute...@aol.com>
Here is the original message sent this morning to the LS list:
âââââââââââââââ
1. HERBERT OF CHERBURY LUTE BOOK FACSIMILE â WOULD YOU BUY A
COPY?
We have been talking for some years about producing a facsimile
of the
Herbert of Cherbury lute book, the last great English renaissance
lute
manuscript, with music from 6 to 10 courses, but there have been
delays.
We don't need prepayments or subscriptions but we need to have
some
idea of demand â especially as sales of facsimiles are less than
they
were, with some much available online.
If a facsimile of the Herbert of Cherbury lute book were similar
in
format to our beautiful Dd.2.11 facsimile, and similar in price -
£50
to members - WOULD YOU VERY PROBABLY BUY A COPY? PLEASE REPLY TO
THIS
EMAIL TO LET US KNOW!
And let us know if this would be too expensive, but you would buy
simple, say, black and white reproduction, for, say £25.
ââââââââââââââââ
Best wishes,
Hector
