I remember that you used to have a page that included arrangements for baroque guitar and other instruments. I love the greensleeves arrangement.

On my browser, a question mark appeared in the upper left corner of the page where there should presumably be an image. I clicked on it anyway, and the download started!

I managed to get download all three parts OK using Safari.

I downloaded it about five months ago and I also had to try and retry and retry... until it finally worked.
By the way, it sure is worth it.

A little known 5 course guitar method in potuguese. Late and somehow unusual

in case the link does not work, the last word should be Paixão

Unusual indeed. Did you notice that the etching "Lugar dos Signos na Viola" shows 12 tuning pegs, with the A and D courses triple strung (two high strings and one bordon for each)? Likewise, the images for chord fingering show 12 pegs and 5 courses. Is this because 6-course guitars were already the norm? Or is it anatomically correct in every way? My Portuguese is not good enough for me to easily uinderstand the instructions for stringing the instrument. As I barely read it, it's possible that the instructions say to put 3 strings on the two lower courses...

It is not all that unusual - it is a standard 18th century Portuguese 5-course guitar know as a viola toeira which was sometimes wire strung. In Portuguese the guitar is called a viola - not to be confused with a vihuela. Triple stringing is not uncommon - the cittern was also sometimes triple strung with a bourdon and two treble strings on the third course (it has a re-entrant tuning).

What kind of music are you supposed to play with this instrument? The last twelve pages offer some examples, but that could be played with just about anything. Why was the bass so reinforced?

A good question. Perhaps because it was wire strung. Corrette mentions a guitar with triple strung 4th and 5th courses but with two bass strings and one treble. He calls it a guitarre a la Rodrrigo. This is in the Les Dons de Apollon printed in Paris in the mid-eighteenth century. You get these odd instruments from time to time.
