Seems that weight would be more precise. Volume would vary with temperature,
atmospheric pressure, properties of the container, etc.

While the weight or mass will always be the same, the volume will change
depending on temperature.

Dear Gary,
The thread was originally about Byrd. I would very much like to know
more about Byrd, and about the tablature sources of his music. For
example, I have the impression that the lute solo settings make some
concessions to the lute, i.e. the music is arranged to be idiomatic
for the instru

When I studied Lute at Oakland University in the late 70's Dr. Nordstrom

Imagine that you have some water and want to quantify it.
It fills a one-pint container
It weighs one pound (or 454 gm, or thereabouts)
Which is more valid, or "superior" - volume or weight?
Always?

Hello all,
The problem with lists like this is generally you have a bunch of fairly well
educated and well meaning people get together and discuss something of real
importance to them. This occasionally evokes strong emotional debates and
reactions from the participants. And more often than not
I really like what Eric Crouch, Dana Emery and Sal Salvaggio have said in
this morning's emails. In the context of music that is just for lute, we
need to remember that the notation is just a communication form - to help
one player play another's music or for someone to learn another's piece.
