Title: Pater noster a quatro de Adrian Williart.
Composer: Alonso Mudarra.
Source: Tres Libros de Musica en Cifras para Vihuela...
Libro III, folio I.
Date: 1546.
Facsimile: Chanterelle, p131.
Tuning: Vihuela tuning.
Time sig: Moderato. ("C" on Mudarra's 2nd line. See general Mudarra comments.)
Tempo changes to "slowly" (slashed "C" on Mudarra's 3rd line) at
m206, where the total rhythm value of the measures doubles.
NOTE: ` indicates a sung note here. (It does not indicate an ornament.)
The text of the motet was printed below the staff.
Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
All rhythm values have been halved.
M16r1s3 original showed fret 5. Changed to 1 here.
M111r4s2 was fret 2 (instead of 1) intended? Not changed here.
M210 original rhythm was (half) half 4er (4er).
M217 original rhythm was whole (whole) 4er (4er 4er 4er).
M212, M218 original did not indicate the sung note.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
Fermata on very last chord.
Suggested simplifications (if need be):

The first chord in m100 sounds wrong to me. I might change it as follows,
using m182-3 as a justification:
___ ___

_________ _________
|____3_6| |____3_6|
|_`3___3| |_`3___3|
