That's right, Leonard, the emphasis goes inside-out on every other
triplet beat in runs of 6/8, 9/8, etc. This happens in Tinctoris, too,

Regarding Economy Picking--
I find that in six-eight time economy picking works nicely on

it's stopped because:
a) it sounds horrible as open
b) if your thumb 'lives' somewhere on the b
About those bass courses - I have just come across another place where
there are some curious uses of stopped bass notes, when an open string
would have been a lot easier. It's John Johnson's "Carmen's Whistle". In
addition to the bass notes there are some places where the fingering of the
