Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M13p4s3 was 2; changed to 3 here.
Francesco showed dots below many single notes. I suppose they indicate
notes to be plucked with the right hand i finger. I haven't retained
these dots in this tablature.
The "F. Milanese" in the title is Francesco, himself. He refers to himself
as M. Francesco Milanese on the cover.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
Fermata: M41 p1 (final chord).
Take a moment to fill out the 16th- and 32nd-note beams.
