Monica, why do you think that the single notes are not played as a chord with any of the preceding note(s)? I realise this is your position but I still don't understand why you hold it: as someone else has said, if F had wanted this there's a perfectly clear way to intabulate it. As you know I disagree with your view and find support in other tabs where just one note changes in a strummed chord progression. Numerous examples in other sources just one (from the real Bartolotti 1640 top of page 19): B,(B)1'/A3,(A)2,13/ etc, etc, etc....................... Martyn

All these notes are meant to be played as single notes. They are not intended to be included in the chord. > > Finally , line 9, bar 4. how do you add a top g to a full barre Bb chord? You don't - it's meant to be a G major chord - include the open 2nd and 3rd courses and it modulates to C minor...(K3) And the penultimate note of the penultimate bar: how do you add, > physically, add an a to a C minor chord?
