30Dec23: Did another 50 pieces from the Nauclerus MS. This is a very difficult MS because of the many mistakes and often a lack of rhythm flags and/or bar lines. The repertoire is not very exciting, either, with a lot of simple dances and passamezzos and a number of Lutheran hymns. However, having come this far, I am determined to complete it. Piece #99 is what appears to be a lute trio, but the parts have several missing pages, and the third part is entirely missing. Moreover, the part for lute 2 has an inexplicable b on the 5th course that requires someone wiser than me to make sense of.
