I have a nasty callus on my ring finger at the moment, studied too much
romantic guitar last week, so I did my concert (Dowland and Byrd on
10-course lute) without ring finger today. Lovely tone, much better!

From Judenkunig's
Utilis et compendiaria introductio (1510-20 (?), no year)
Preterea admonendus es ut literas et characteres numeri quotquot
ordinatim signis notarum supponuntur,
singulas eorum cordas singulis digitis (si modo digitorum dextre
numerum non
excedunt) discretim aut si plures sunt quam quatuor, digitorumque
numerum
superant, simul uno ictu pollicis oberrando percucias pulsesque.
Die einzelnen Chorsaiten der Buchstaben und Ziffern sollen mit je
einem Finger angeschlagen
werden, falls sie nicht etwa die Zahl der Finger der rechten Hand
überschreiten.
Sind es aber mehr als vier Chorsaiten und überschreiten die Zahl
der Finger, sollen
sie (alle) zugleich mit einem Daumenschlag gestreift werden.
German translation by Hans Radke
Anybody crazy enough to provide an English translation?
Anyway, this clearly indirectly states that the third finger of the
right hand was used.
