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

Title: Jacaras. 39 diferencias.
Composer: Francisco Guerau.
Source: Poema Harmonico.
Folio 35.
Date: 1694.
Facsimile: Tecla, p57.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig: 3.
Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
M83 original rhythm was dotted-4er 8th (8th) 4er.
M105 original showed a single slur covering 8 notes, but Jeffery says this
was changed to 2 shorter slurs in later editions. I assume the 2 slurs
are connected, as in the surrounding measures.
M130-131 were separated by a double bar.
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.
M79 r4s4.
M80 r4-6s1.
M81 r3-5s1.
M82 r1-3s5.
M104 r2-5s2-r9s2.
M105 r2s5-r5s4-r9s5.
M106 r1-3s1-r8s1, r10-12s2.
M107 r1s2-r6s2-r12s2.
M108 r1s2-r6s2-r12s4.
M109 r1s2-r12s1.
M110 r2s5-r7s4-r12s2.
M119 r2s1-r5s2.
M120 r1s4-r4s5, r6s2-r9s3.
M121 r2s3-r5s4.
M122 r1s4-r4s5.
M148 r1s4.
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor. On 8th and dotted 8th
notes, consider a shorter, 3-note figure - main note to upper neighbor
and back to the main note.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
Octave doublings: To connect a musical line on the modern guitar, or fill out
the texture, consider adding the octave above the bass. For example, see:
m53r1, m123r1, m125r1.
Leading measures in Guerau's original tablature:
1 13 23 34 44 58 70 80 91 104 110 119 128 139 152. Last measure is 156.
