I should point out - if someone hasn't already - that the Francisque is one of
Luth d'ore's editions. Really clearly printed and well thought-out edition. I
recommend it highly.

Hello Tristan and Jean-Marie.
I've had a facsimile copy of the Tresor since one bought those things
with a check in an envelope, and agree about the quality of the music,
but haven't had it out in years, so thanks for the reminder. I
have played through Susanne, but tend more toward the dances.
Best, and keep playing,
Chris.

It's not a ride like Eysert, or Terzi Intabulations...
When I wrote 7c I meant: if you have less than required number of
diapasons, 7c is still good to go.
