"It was simply an experiment, a test if and what works with Musescore. Nothing 100 percent scientifically accurate. By the way, it is said that there are still players who have difficulties with Italian tablature...."
"Why convert it into French tablature? It just looks odd. The original is not so difficult to read. The tablature programme Fandango is actually quite good for Italian tab with alfabeto."
Mixed Tab for baroque guitar
For some time now I have been looking for a program that can do mixed tablatures for baroque guitar as a new set, and I have just finished a successful attempt (Valdambrini: Gagliarda seconda).

"Dear Rainer,
Thank you for the speciman page. I didn't at first realise the original had been rewritten in a modern hand and had expected a facsimile edition. Is the source document so very poor as to require the new version?

"Dear Martyn,
in Youtube you can listen (and see) how Michael Freimuth, who discovered the unknown printing, plays some movements of Platano's music:
