silvanig,
Thank you again for this excellent, brilliant, and yet practical and useful treatise!
The new §14 is very interesting to me. It shows the dilemma we all have and the compromises we may choose. Currently I use a combination of approaches number 2 and 3, always considering and pondering over this matter.

Recently I happened to notice some discrepancy between Jean-Daniel Forget's and Leyenda's versions of no 34, London MS. This is the piece written in the exotic key bb minor.
I addressed Jean-Daniel for help.
The explanation for the discrepancy was, that, caused by an error in the Django software, the scores of the Django version erroneously showed C for all occurrences of Cb (course 11).
This small difference had quite a few consequences for the theory of scordatura:
.. The tuning for no 34 was erroneous.
.. The number of natural tunings applied in the two manuscripts to 13 course baroque lutes decreased by 1 (to 6) and the number of additional tunings used increased by 1 (to 2).
.. The diversity of convenient natural alto tunings didn't equal any more the diversity of the natural tunings used by Weiss in the two manuscripts (as for number of tunings).
.. An example of the derivation of the tuning of an alto arrangement became obsolete.
.. The statement, that the maximum interval of retuning of a bass was one semitone, was not valid any more. Now there was one exception to the rule.
Meanwhile I have worked in the necessary amendments.
According to Jean-Daniel the error in the Django software has been corrected, too.

The former
§14 HOW TO AVOID FREQUENT RETUNING OF ALTO GUITARS
has been enhanced and divided into
§14 CONVENIENT TUNINGS FOR ALTO GUITARS
and
§15 HOW TO AVOID FREQUENT RETUNING OF ALTO GUITARS.
§9, Digression 1
has been extended.
Some new abbreviations have been introduced in §10.2 and §12.
