Editorial Notes

Source: John Dowland: Lachrimæ, or Seaven Teares figured in Seaven Passionate Pavans, with divers other Pavans, Galiards,

and Almands, set forth for the Lute, Viols, or Violons, in five parts [London, n.d. (almost certainly 1604)]. Note-values and pitches are as in the original edition.

Repeat-marks throughout are editorial.

Small accidentals are editorial (I.5.4 is the single instance in this piece, the sharp being supplied by the lute tablature).
