In Eysert or the Linzer Lautenbuch in some pieces whole bars or groups of bars are in red - very strange.
Perhaps we can find something in: Josef Klima, Das Lautenbuch des Michael Eysert, Norimbergensis (vor 1600): das "Linzer Lautenbuch" : Original im Oberösterreichischen Landesarchiv : Themenverzeichnis Wiener Lautenarchiv Publisher J. Klima, 1977 Unfortunately this is not available here at the university library nor at JSTOR: Rainer Am 24.08.2020 um 01:50 schrieb Leonard Williams:
In Mudarra's third book of Tres Libros there are a couple of pieces where he picks out the vocal line with apostrophes in the tablature. Could the Eysert red notes be similar in intent? (Would the player be singing, or might the singer be a tab reader?)

The chords in those parts seem to differ from the harmony of the original pieces.
