Well, kat, this is gratifying. I didn't know you were in the inner golden circle of early-music lovers.
Bonnie, I think there's a mistake in the MS (your first link). There should be a sharp on the F in the third-to-last measure.
Someday I would like to learn to read the old notation, as shown in your second link. I tried playing various lines but didn't crack the code.
Thanks for the links, though.
Recently I started a thread titled 'Reutterliedlein.' It gives an example of what I like to do with early music. The tune is the kind of thing I play monthly with my friends.
