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,

Scrabble II for word lovers!
Short ID: AC9.
Title: Alemande.
Composer: Anthoine Carre.
Source: Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
Page 9.
Date: ca. 1690?
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig: C.
Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M14p3s3 original had a "," following the fret letter. It does not look like
the other mordent symbols, nor is it positioned like the other ones. Also,
you wouldn't expect that note to be ornamented.
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.
M5 p1-3s4.
M14 p2s3.
M15 p3-4s2.
M25 p1s1.
M29 p3s4.
M30 p2-4s2.
M34 p2s2.
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.
$ = petite reprise symbols. Repeat the material between the signs.
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 11 16 22 28 33. Last measure is 36.
