P.S. it seems everybody plays them as written, even when there are
missing bars - sigh. If that's the norm for such an obvious, short

Thank you much Martin,
It goes on to show how important it is to give credit and to show that

Queen's goodnight seem to fit the treble in Marsh or D.d3.18??

Several more reconstructions of the Fancy can be found in my edition
of the works of Danyel, available from the Lute Society.
