comment How do I train myself to sing pure vowels?
Thanks. Paying more attention to what my lips and tongue are doing over the course of a vowel sound was quite informative. :-)

comment How do I train myself to sing pure vowels?
@mrbuxley: nope. :-) @Gauthier: I suspect that we tend to imitate the sounds we hear and speak every day, which are probably different for the two of us.

comment Is this piece of renaissance music really in the locrian mode?
Thank you! I don't see two flats anywhere else in this manuscript, and I also don't have access to the other sources for Sobria. A. William Smith in his collection interprets the key signature the same way you and I do, for what that's worth, and he had access to the other manuscripts, but obviously that's a step removed. PnD sometimes omits clefs in other places (e.g. Marchexana) -- out of sloppiness or intent I can't say.

comment Software that allows playing in different temperaments
I found this question by nearly asking a very similar one. I'd like to be able to hear the same piece of music in a bunch of different temperaments without having to program it myself or buy expensive software -- ideally somebody already has a collection of MP3s or something. Should I ask that separately or just leave this comment here?

comment How does the use of tablatures impact one's learning and sight-reading abilities?
The importance of tab vs. sheet music will be affected by the contexts in which he'll be playing. Anthony, do you expect to play in jam sessions or other groups where one or the other form of notation will be in use?
