There are no figures in the original - these are added by me to define the harmony and they are correct. (The programme I use won't put them one on top of the other). The voice part and bass part are as in the original. The point at issue is - what is the first chord you would play in the penul

Well - I'm not sure that there is any point in reviving this discussion - especially as I disagree with most of what you say. But for what it is worth... 1. I can find no prohibition to employing an instrument to play the bass line alone even when the guitar is used to play the alfabeto.
