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

Title: Courante la Mauleurier.
Composer: Francois Campion.
Source: Nouvelles decouvertes sur la Guitarre.
Page 12.
Date: 1705.
Facsimile: Minkoff (1977), page 33.
Tuning: Bb D G C F (tuning 1).
Time sig: 3/2.
Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
M23 original showed no end bar line. Bar line 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.
M10 r2-3s2, r5s1.
M24 r4s1.
M25 r2s5, r4s3.
M26 r3s2.
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.
z = rest. Fill in to make a solid block.
Octave doublings: To keep certain musical lines intact on the modern guitar,
consider adding or substituting the next octave up. For example, see:
m21r1,r3 and m26r6.
Leading measures in Campion's original tablature:
1 6 10 16 20 24 28. Last measure is 30.
