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.

Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M9p3 original has small tick mark coming down from top line.
M4p2s4 original has trill sign "x", which doesn't make sense to me.
Moreover, measure 4 just sounds wrong to me. Its rhythm is not consistent
with the rhythm found in all the other cadence measures. Here is a
suggested alteration:

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.
M31 p4s2.
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 (none in this piece).
. = 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 6 12 19 25 31. Last measure is 32.
