Re: [Denemo-devel] Lute version of pavan

[Jeremiah Benham]

I am not an expert on lute notation but that //a would mean the second theorbo 
string. This was intended for a theorbo lute. The theorbo strings are not 
fretted and are usually follow a scale. So if the lowest lute note is a G, then 
/a would be f or f#, and //a would mean e.
