Oh my Vance,
You have just solved a problem for me. The figured bass! Not as to the
question of my notation problem, I already write my harp arrangements with
the optional bass in the sense of the chords (which can be written as the
Roman numbers), the real problem there was to make the melody
David,
You would be welcome on the harp lists speaking of the lute, they are rather
ecumenical on music (although a discussion of Sinatra's recordings might be
a bit out of line g). But I realize that were my postings a bit shorter
they might be more acceptable. Blame the Canadian's for making
Vance,
A good thought, but the figured base isn't the problem. Except for those to
whom the harp is new music (just as it might be for those who are addicted
to the lute as the only music), one can call the form of the bass, or
chordings, by using the numbers of the figured base. Not practical
at different pieces: nos
17-32 and nos 44-70 specify different modes.
Best wishes,
Stewart.

Sorry about that David. And I do hate to irritate anyone. But perhaps I was
mistaken in my estimate of the members of this list. I had rather thought
they were interested in music, and particularly the music as played some
years ago (when it was a music of sense and sensibility rather than naked
Stewart,
A good point, and one can set the bass by using the Roman I,IV,V etc. for
the harmonies. But the problem with it is the same as the French and Italian
lute notation for those whose background is the staff notation. My goal is
to set the pieces without key, so the player can see it and
Stewart,
Thanks again. We all know that notation is key dependant on the fixed
instruments, like piano, harpsichord and harp (that less so, as one doesn't
have to get into a box to retune). And that the notation of the lute is not
key dependant as one can use lutes of various sized tuned to

Dear Stewart, David, and All:
Is the notation you're referring to the one used by Cabezon, with a line
for each voice and the pitch notated with numbers? That system seems
pretty straightforward, enough so that perhaps skilled vihuelists could
read from it. It's probably easier than German
