Ed- I'm not assuming actual frets. That's why I nearly always use the
words "13 semitone" - (or whatever semitone) when talking about any note
above the 8ve. In fact, one should never assume any actual fret above
the 8th, 9th, or sometimes 10th. Except, maybe, late German D-minor
lutes- the
Im kind of surprised everyone is assuming there would be frets. What year was

so j is the only one that is not used. In those days there was no real
difference between "i" and "j".
Dowland uses p
Dowland uses the 14th semitone- tab letter "p"- which is found in John
Langton's Galliard. Semitone 13, written as (13) can be found in
Molinaro's fine fantasia #12, and it is indeed the 20th semi-tone in
Toccata #1 by Picinnini from his 2nd book, lower case "l" being the tab
letter; which in
Thanks for your reply.
what about Q? Is it used? If so, 't' would refer to c# assuming g tuning and
harmonically the piece wouldn't make sense being in F if I remember well. I was

Dowland uses p somewhere, Piccinini goes much higher (20th fret) and ages ago
