If I recall correctly (not guaranteed), the tabulation isn't
completely accurately reprinted in the commonly available english
translation. If you have a french facsimile available to you, I
would compare them to see if that resolves the "bit strange", at
least for some pieces. I note that Barbara said that she *did* have
a french version available, though this may not help her particular
issue.
I haven't looked at bransles for a while, but am fond of them and
have been thinking about doing so; I'll keep your (Barbara's)
question in mind when I do.
