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

Anthoine Carre,

Livre de Pieces de Guitarre et de Musique.

Short ID: AC22.
Title: Pasacaille tanbour.
Composer: Anthoine Carre.
Source: Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
Page 22.
Date: ca. 1690?
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig: 3.
Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M2p1s5 original had fret letter "b" (fret 1). Changed here to "." (string
not to be played.)
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
Slurs. If only a starting point is given, slur includes all the following
uninterrupted notes on the same string.
M18 p3s2.
M19 p1-2s1, p3s1.
M24 p4-5s2, p6s2, p8-9s3.
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords
were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good.
Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated
stem.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill (starting on upper neighbor).
. = do not strum this string in the chord.
Octave doublings: If you are playing on a modern, single-string guitar,
consider adding or substituting the next octave up almost everywhere
you see a 4th- or 5th-string note.
Performance style: consider playing the 8th notes inegales, that is, as dotted
8ths or "swing" 8ths (triplet feel).
Leading measures in Carre's original tablature:
