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.

Short ID: FG9.
Title: Passacalles de 4o. tono. Compassillo. 14 diferencias.
Composer: Francisco Guerau.
Source: Poema Harmonico.
Folio 11.
Date: 1694.
Facsimile: Tecla, p33.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig: C.
Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string): none.
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.
M29 r1-2s3.
M53 r5-6s2.
M54 r2s2.
M56 r2-3s1, r5-6s1.
Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. See m1 and m37. It's worth re-drawing
the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated stem.
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.
Suggested simplification (if your left hand is as bad as mine):
_____________
M23: |________"0_|
|_"5________|
|__5_ to ___|
|___________|
|__3______3_|
|___________| or, play lower grace note instead of trill.
