Baroque lute ledger lines
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2005 3:58 pm
In Finale you can currently assign enough strings to a lute to accomodate a 13-course instrument. However, it becomes impossibly difficult to read the bass courses. In traditional lute tablature, ledger lines were used, and for the 11th, 12th, and 13th courses, the numbers 4, 5, and 6 were used to denote the open strings.
Without the numbers and added (partial) ledger lines, it's simply not possible to use Finale for writing out baroque lute music. This very simple addition would make the program usable for baroque lutenists.
