Indeed.  I'm in the day job office and can't refer directly, but I seem to 
remember spots/chords where it's not clear to which course/string the symbol 
applied.  Feel free to correct me if this is not the case.  Strizich is a 
somewhat useful...but also a somewhat odd effort.  Personally, I feel de Visee 
is one of those few 5-course characters who loses almost nothing in use of the 
low A throughout.  If transcribing de Visee to modern notation, I'd almost 
rather assume a typical modern instrument, with notes along the fifth notated 
as though they are along an A, as Grimes did in his guitar transcriptions for 
good ol' Mel Bay, de Visee included.

Best,
Eugene

Well - Strizich does indicate which course the notes are on with a little 
figure in a circle below the stave but you need a magnifying glass to read 
them.  e.g. in the first bar the c is played on the 5th course and the a on 
the 3rd.   He also puts in zeros to indicate open courses e.g. on line 3 in 
the third bar the zeros over the a and b natural indicate that they are played 
on the open 5th and 2nd courses.

It does highlight how difficult it is to transcribe baroque guitar music 
coherantly.
