Dear Lex,
Well, it just goes to show how such a protracted exchange can become as
Chinese whispers. I had gained the impression that this (ie
principally avoidance of inversions in alfabeto) was the issue -
including of course non-BC bourdon use with which it is inextricably
entwined. I can therefore see little practical difference between any
of these vigorously defended positions. If there is any significant
difference after all that has been said, would you and Monica kindly
(in a sentence) summarise the res as they see it.

Dear Martyn,

aimed) would have routinely (perhaps even always) sought to avoid
inversions by selective strumming.
What makes you think that I believe that??
I have no idea what was done routinely ('even [by] the amateurs'),
and
do not pretend to know what was (perhaps) always done. Nor what was
_
never_ done, for that matter.
best wishes, Lex
