Interesting point. I looked for other Cs to compare, but those are the only two. There is a bit of a variation in the Ns in the allemande, but not such a radical difference in my opinion. That stroke seems absent on the other C in the Corrente. I dunno. I had been playing it as a normal Dmaj chord. I've just checked Bartolotti again because that is where I remembered seeing these "stroked" chords. I see that the alteration in all three cases is simply leaving off the 5th course. If that were the case here, it would make perfect sense. Here is another question for the experts: What do you think about inegale in Roncali? cheers, Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/ -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
