Stewart, et al, Of course, rather than worrying so much about open basses, one could just as easily play troublesome notes up an octave. From looking at the solo repertoire for baroque lute alone, it seems this was very standard practice. In these pieces in which the composer had freedom

Dear David On what type of lute will you play the Betrachte? I have a tab somewhere for archlute, but with some scordatura in the bass, beware. Better play from the score, it's easier that way. A bit weird to do this aria without the viola d'amore, though, they make all the beautiful dissonances.
