Corbetta guitar royale "suite

[Bill Brettschneider]

I am working on a few pieces in the Corbetta guitar royal and I noticed something that seems strange to me. If this were the only place I had ever seen the word "suite" in the context of baroque dances, I would think it meant "continued from the previous page."
The word shows up at the top of every page that continues a piece from the previous page, and if I'm not mistaken, only there. Can anyone help me refine my definition of this word to incorporate his usage?
I would have defined it as a collection of dances. I think he is using it differently.

[Bill Brettschneider]

I will get the hang of it, but I goofed up again. Would you please move this to baroque guitar as well?

[Jelma van Amersfoort]

Moved. And yes, it means 'follow-up from previous page'.

[Bill Brettschneider]

I don't think I've seen it used that way anywhere else. Was this a common use of the word?

[Monica Hall]

Yes it is the more common use at this period.   De Visee, Carre and Grenerin all use it in this way.

Corbetta uses the word differently depending on the context.    When it appears at the top of the page it means that this is the continuation of the piece on the previous page. This is the more common usage.   If you look at Carre, Grenerin and de Visee you will see they have done the same thing.   In the index to La Guitarre royale however it refers to the pieces which follow the allemande.  I am not sure about this but I believe Corbetta is one of the earliest people to use the term to refer to a group of dances in this way.     It comes from the French suivre - to follow.
