This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Gaspar Sanz's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Scrabble II for word lovers!
Short ID: GS29a.
Title: Granduque
Composer: Gaspar Sanz
Source: Instruccion; Tomo 2, page 9.
Date: 1697.
Facsimile: Minkoff, 1976.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (ADGBE).
Time sig: C.
Fixes, modifications, comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M8p1s4, m12p2s5. Original tablature has a little tick mark going up from
the line. They look intentional, but if so, I don't know what they mean.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
None.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor.
# = vibrato.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
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.
For a nicer appearance, redraw the arrowhead right at the top or bottom of
its stem and white-out the printed one.
Octave doublings: If you play this on a modern guitar, consider adding or
substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 13 24 37. Last measure is 43.
