For French tabs with good optics you can also use MuseScore, which is
also free.


However I have not yet (on Linux) found any support of more than 6 courses.

Editing is quite easy.

   I use Finale.

   For French tab font I use Times Roman bold italics. Size 11.

   I place the ciphers through the tab lines, not in between.

   I check the box to not let tab lines cross the tab ciphers.

   Yes, you can use Fronimo on a mac. You may want to poke through the
   archives to find out how to do it.
   I seem to remember that there was something like emulating a pc

Interesting technology. As applied to a lute? Not so sure.
I suspect someone will but most won't as there is not really
any advantage and much disadvantage (the lamination process
for starters, workin with nomex or similar, etc.). 

The problem this construction "fixes" is loudness. While there
may be occassions when a lute is too soft, making up for it with
an overly stiff soundboard would, I suspect, take away much of
what makes a lute sound the way it does.

Consider the following article for more

[LUTE] Double Top

2020-03-24 Thread John Mardinly
   Last summer, I purchased a ‘double top' guitar. The sound this
   instrument produces is astounding. It looks like a normal guitar, but
   the top consists of two layers of wood a half millimeter thick with a
   latticework of thin balsa wood strips in between for reinforcement. The
   result is a slab suitable for an instrument top that is much less dense
   than any solid wood and thus vibrates more easily yet still has
   sufficient strength to withstand the stress of the strings on the
   bridge. Question is, has this been tried on a lute? Are there any
   luthiers interested in trying?

[LUTE] Re: Things to play in quarantine

2020-03-24 Thread Bill Eisele
   Unfortunately, the problem you're describing is caused by latency over
   the internet.  So, teleconferencing apps like FaceTime, Zoom, and Skype
   won't allow you to play with other musicians.  It will definitely sound
   like cacophony as you described.  Here's a good article describing the
   problem:
   [1]https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/online-band-practices-possible/.

   There are some workarounds for this in the form of certain apps and
   devices.  The problem is that if the app or device is intended to
   minimize latency and the further you are away from the other musicians
   and the slower your connection speeds, the more latency you will
   experience.  But it may be worth a try in these difficult times to
   connect with others to play duets and beyond.  Here are the apps listed
   in the article above:

   [2]https://www.jamkazam.com (a separate desktop device is recommended)

   [3]https://www.cockos.com/ninjam/ (this app doesn't appear to deal
   directly with latency)

   [4]http://llcon.sourceforge.net (this app appears to upload individual
   musician tracks, mixes them and then downloads the mixed result as a
   single track to each collaborator)

   [5]https://www.facebook.com/eJamming-368668856036/ (their website
   doesn't seem to be active)

   I have only had limited experience with JamKazam without the
   recommended device trying to play duets with a friend in our town and I
   quickly gave up on it.  My internet speed is relatively slow so without
   the device I was probably hindered in my ability to use the app.  It
   would be a good idea to search on the internet to see how successful
   these apps are before spending much time with any one of them.

   Hope this helps,

   Bill Eisele
