Fantastic job. And just save my sorry butt. I have a concert coming up and some colleagues had to cancel some pieces, so i was looking for one of the Monteverdi tunes in a nice edition with alfabeto. So thanks a bunch!!!!! Wil give special thanks in the concert if it goes well ;)

Thanks very much for keeping the list, it's a great resource. BTW, I'm working on the Piccinini/Foscarini Ciaconna which was always a favorite of mine, although I still can't pull it off cleanly on my archlute. In your edition last bar of variation 17 first beat, the bass note should be an F, not a C (tab letter d on the 4th course, not the 5th).

Baroque guitar music in Guatemala has been found -so far- on two manuscripts: Regla para entrastar, which is a beginner's instruction book, and a small notebook which bears the inscription "Soy de Manuel Albares" on the title page.

Regla para entrastar is written for a five-course instrument, with tuning AA Dd GG BB e. It is unknown if it was written in Guatemala or if it was brought from Spain. Some ilustrations for the alfabeto chords are very similar to the ones found in Sanz - actually, they look like copies. However, there are more chords in regla para entrastar than in Sanz. Music includes Baile Inglés, a minuet and a Contradanza.

Manuel Alvarez is an otherwise unknown musician. He wrote for an instrument tuned in fourths (maybe Dd GG cc f). This unusual tuning has also been found in Italy (see Soundboard, Vol XXII, No 1). Music in the Alvarez manuscript includes Canarios, Marizápalos, Marionas, and many which include the word "Fantasmas" (ghosts) in the title.
