This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Alonso Mudarra's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Short ID:  AM12.
Title:     Pleni de la misa de faysan regres (Josquin).
Composer:  Alonso Mudarra.
Source:    Tres Libros de Musica en Cifras para Vihuela...  
           Libro I, folio XII.
Date:      1546.
Facsimile: Chanterelle, p47.

Tuning:    Vihuela tuning.
Time sig:  Moderato. ("C" on Mudarra's 3rd line. See general Mudarra comments.)  

Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
  All rhythm values have been halved.
  M81 original rhythm was (4er 4er) 4er (4er).  Rhythm symbol at r3 was 
  apparently redundant. 

Tablature elements to be added by hand:
  Let ring as long as possible (see general Mudarra comments): M21r2, m27r1,
    m42r2, m71r3s4, m81r3s4.
  Fermata on very last chord.  

Fingering suggestion (just one):  You'll want to play m83r2s4 fret 4 with 
  finger 2.  

Leading measures in Mudarra's original tablature:
  1 15 28 41 55 68 80. Last measure is 88.
