Interesting point. I looked for other Cs to compare, but those are  
the only two. There is a bit of a variation in the Ns in the  
allemande, but not such a radical difference in my opinion. That  
stroke seems absent on the other C in the Corrente. I dunno. I had  
been playing it as a normal Dmaj chord.

I've just checked Bartolotti again because that is where I remembered  
seeing these "stroked" chords. I see that the alteration in all three  
cases is simply leaving off the 5th course. If that were the case  
here, it would make perfect sense.

Here is another question for the experts: What do you think about  
inegale in Roncali?

Yes, I thought Pat did _not_ play at that one, but wasn't certain. I thought 
Harp Consort was the name of Lawrence King's ensemble.  I recall the title, Luz 
y Norte, on the program I attended, and found it to be a strange name.  

I still do not understand its significance as the title of a guitar treatise. 
Monica?

  Nope, that was a different program from several years before the last I had 
  mentioned.  I attended that one too: it was billed as the Harp Consort, 
  featured Paul O'Dette as one of the guitarists, and did not feature Pat 
  O'Brien at all (at least not in Columbus, OH).
