"With all due respect to Denys and Michael Morrow, I should point out that Willi Apel did not make the transcription. He simply used a transcription by Adolf Koczirz in the Denkmaeler der Tonkunst in Oesterreich XVIII/37 (published in 1911).

Newsidler's printer mistook the cipher "&" (=Latin et) which looks like a combination of "z" and "+" for the cipher "t". The & = IInd course, fifth fret, and the "t" = IInd course, fourth fret. Given a nominal G tuning,the "t" would indicate to tune the top course to F#, whereas the correct cipher "&" means to tune the top course to the usual G. (I'm rephrasing what Denys already said.)

As Michael Morrow points out, not only does the correct tuning do away with the bitonality, the top melodic line fits together properly. One should bear in mind that the horrors of Wolrd War II were much closer to persons of Willi Apel's age, who could appreciate that there might be manifestations of German anti-Semitism even in the 16th century. And that may be the reason the misprint was accepted in that transcription for nearly 50 years as representing what Newsidler intended, altrhough common sense should have suggested something was wrong. Is the deja vue all over again?" --Аристофил 20:30, 10 июля 2011 (UTC)
