But there seems to be vocal music with this system of bass line and guitar alfabeto. For ex. The four books f Villanelli by Kapsberger (1610, 1619, 1619, 1623). The first and third have also theorbo tabulature. Il secondo libro d'arie musicali by Stefano Landi, 1627. Scherzi e canzonette by Biagio Marini, 1622. This was just a pick from my bookshelf. I think I have seen also other vocal music published this way. Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
