That helps, Peter. Thank you. Monica, too. I'm good to go!

The vertical line between the d and r (or c if you wish) indicates that they need to be played simultaneously. The b and a in the 4th measure too, but this is probably not indicated because there's less ambiguity; the / between f and d in the third measure indicates the they need to be played separately.

The vertical little line below a note indicates that it's plucked with your thumb.

The "," is a 'tremblement' or trill according to de Visée's intro, but in this instance (2nd measure 3d line) I'd use an upper appoggiatura (from g) and a trill on the follow "," in the same measure.

You just play the two notes - not the notes in between. But some of your message seems to be missing...

I need some help with this Bourree by Robert de Visee. Screen shot pasted below.

1. The vertical bar between notes (see the 2nd measure, last beat. The intro to this book says (in French) that these notes need to be "pinched". I get that, but why are there notes, as in the 4th measure, 1st beat, that do not include this vertical bar?

Also, there is sometimes a vertical bar beneath the lower note and I'm not sure what this means. See 4th line, 1st measure.

2. What does the little apostrophe character mean? See 3rd line, 2nd measure. Does this indicate ornamentation?

I'm clearly still a novice when it comes to reading older music, so please know I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.
