2009-12-29 Thread Suzanne and Wayne
Are there any users of Finale for Renaissance lute tablature out there that could give me some pointers about how to get diapasons? Haven't made much progress with the Help feature. I can define the instrument as having 10 courses, but can't see how to write notes on the strings numbered higher t

In my opinion, its definitely not just in the brain. If I try to play early in the morning, even after I've had my caffeine, the fingers of both hands just don't work all that well. By the afternoon the brain may be sluggish and in need of a nap, but the fingers are warm and much more capable. O

I am not a player of either theorbo or Baroque guitar. But I've heard them in performances, and I've wondered how often the player has made the choice for the guitar simply because that way there is a chance it will be heard. Sometimes the number of string players is too large, or

This is interesting. I'm heartened, in light of our recent discussion that seemed to show the near lack of women composers in the past, that 2 of the 4 composers selected for this project were women. I'm not really a fan of "contemporary" music, but I found 2 of the compositions wor

[LUTE] Women composers of lute music

For starters, lets assume Mark meant women composers of lute music, perhaps either living or historical. Occasionally, women performers (of various instruments) will take up the theme of music written by women. For example, at the last major Lute Fest in Cleveland last year, Elizabeth C. D. Brown
