As a break from transcribing I tried to get the transcribed music sounding a lot better so I can listen to it to practise to (I learn much better by hearing the music rather than reading sheet music). Below is an example of what the default midi sound is, and below that is what I… Continue reading A Test →

Also I finished transcribing Orphenica Lyra, you can find it on the sidebar. I actually finished transcribing it a while ago I just needed to upload it and only remembered to do that now. Enjoy!

Only a fragment of this book exists (which I have included both here and on the Original Facsimiles page). It was originally published by Adrien Le Roy as an instructional guide on playing the renaissance guitar. This version is a translation of that book into English, published by James Rowbotham in 1568. Hopefully more gets… Continue reading The breffe and playne instruction to lerne to play on the gyttron and also the Cetterne →

I have finished transcribing Le Roy's 5th book, it is on the sidebar if you want to download it. I hope I transcribed it accurately and I help at least one musician with their music.

I have almost finished transcribing the fourth book in Le Roy's series of music for 4 course guitar (which has music composed by Gregoire Brayssing in it). There are only 2 songs left (although they are both very long and my hand is cramping so I will try to do them tomorrow).

I have now updated each book I have transcribed (so far) with staff notation alongside the French and Italian notations, and have also made all pdfs available on the page for each book as opposed to being in a google drive folder (the musescore file is still in google drive because I can't upload it… Continue reading Staff Notation and other Updates →
