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.

Short ID: GS24e.
Title: Jacaras
Composer: Gaspar Sanz
Source: Instruccion; Tomo 2, page 4.
Date: 1697.
Facsimile: Minkoff, 1976.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (ADGBE).
Time sig: 3.
Fixes, modifications, comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M8p3. When Sanz indicates vibrato on a chord, he shows only one vibrato
symbol "#" below the chord. I assume the vibrato applies to all fingered
notes and provide a separate "#" for each fingered note of the chord here.
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.
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 23. Last measure is 38.
