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,
with an index of his works for the Baroque guitar in
Livre de Pieces de Guitarre et de Musique.
When you need a break from the guitar, please consider my page of
Scrabble II for word lovers!
Short ID: AC60b.
Title: Chacone (second desus)
Composer: Anthoine Carre.
Source: Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
Page 60.
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):
M21 Extraneous rhythm dot in original implies dotted 4er (dotted 4er
dotted 4er). Dot removed here, giving 4er 4er 4er.
M47p3 original showed no strum. Strum added here.
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.
M3 p2-3s2.
M15 p3s1.
M19 p1s1.
M30 p1s2.
M35 p1s1.
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).
, = mordent (main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note).
. = 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:
1 8 16 23 30 36 43 51. Last measure is 52.
