..and adjust the open courses and the other frets accordingly,
Howard,
I agree with everything you said, totally. That is exactly my practice
with fret placement. slightly diminish the 2nd & 4th frets, for

Keys that have few notes in common with the "home" key. A piece in C
major will typically modulate to G or F or minor, but gets far afield
if it drifts into A-flat or F-sharp, and in any equal temperament those
sections will sound dissonant and

All good stuff Stewart, but does it apply to the 'baroque' guitar? As has

Tastini is the word I was trying to think of. I'm reluctant to join the
lute list as you get so many me
Dear Monica
I play meantone temperament on my baroque guitar in continuo once in a
while. I have a high first fret (f, c and b-flat) and use an extra first
fret (a small tastini, actually) in a lower position for g#-sharp. E-flat or
d-sharp depending on tonality high or low. It's akward, playin

Dear Monica,
Yes, like you I wonder at it all - surely the point of moveable chord shapes
(alfabeto) is that equal temp is taken as read
