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.

Title: Basse - pieces du Conser desus.
Composer: Anthoine Carre.
Source: Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
Page 39.
Date: ca. 1690?
Tuning: Modern guitar (C G D G B E).
Time sig: various.
NOTE: This tablature for modern guitar is a direct translation of Carre's
bass part, originally printed in music notation.
Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M11p1 original shows a flat sign (for a C-flat), but the intention is
obviously to simply undo the previous sharp. Nowadays we would write a
natural sign.
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.
M130 p2-3s4.
M154 p3-4s4.
M189 p3-4s3.
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
Explanation of symbols:
$ = petite reprise symbol. Repeat to the sign.
Performance style: consider playing the 8th notes inegales, that is, as dotted
8ths or "swing" 8ths (triplet feel).
Leading measures in Carre's original music:
1 9 16 26 37 49 61 71 83 94 107 115 123 137 150 162 174 185 189 197.
