[LUTE] Re: those lute plans
Now that he has cleaned house, maybe he can get busy with volume 2 of the History of the Lute. Please, Doug.

[LUTE] Re: Mac & lute typesetting
A few might be interested to know that the new version of MuseScore has pretty o-kay lute tab capabilities (with playback). It's not as good as Fronimo, but it's free and works great for 6-course, while 7 & 8 course is managable if the bass lines are not too active (for 8 course, you have to write with a full 8-line staff, then hide the extra lines and write in the slash notation in text -- yeah, that part's not so great, but it works). It's available for windows, max, and linux: https://musescore.org/ Slainte! Samuel J.

The good news is that I've plugged an Adesso windows keyboard into my MacPro and everything seems to work the way it is supposed to, both Insert and Delete keys work perfectly in combination with the Windows/Command key.

[LUTE] Re: those lute plans
Doug Smith asked me to post this response to Ed Dubrow's request for a Volume 2 to the Lute History book. Nancy Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ed, but it ain't gonna happen. There are too many other projects on my desk that for me are more engaging right now. Not by chance did I step down from the JLSA (Journal of the Lute Society of America) editorship. A History of the Lute in the Baroque Era might be a good dissertation topic for an analytically-minded PhD student of musicology, though it's broader than usual. The structural model exists. It's an almost guaranteed publication by a major press (Oxford or other univ. press) with little or no alteration right out of the chute if done right, unlike most PhD theses. I'd happily serve as an informal adviser, but other long-standing research and composition projects have my attention at this point.
