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

Short ID:  AC14.
Title:     Sarabande.
Composer:  Anthoine Carre.
Source:    Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
           Page 14. 
Date:      ca. 1690?

Tuning:    Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig:  3. 

Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String): 
  M6 p1 original explicitly showed full, 5-note (i.e., 5-letter) chord.  Since 
    it is identical to the previous chord, the fret numbers are not shown here.
  M9p1: The chute (see below) was notated as it always is, a curved line 
    above the staff, which seems to suggest the ornament applies to the 
    uppermost note.  I'm no expert on chutes, but it sounds a lot better and 
    is more playable on the string 2 note, which is where I've placed it here.  

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.
    M13 p4s1.
    M16 p5s1
    M17 p2-3s2.
  Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.

Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords 
  were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good. 
  Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated 
  stem.

Explanation of symbols: 
  " = trill (starting on upper neighbor). 
  , = mordent (none in this piece).
  . = do not strum this string in the chord. 
  ( = "chute."  A note in a chord is reached by a slur from its lower 
      neighbor.  It is not crushed like a mordent.  For example:  

         ^ ___ ___          ___ ___ ___  
         | | | | |          | | | | | |  
      _____v_______       __^___v_______
      |_(3________|       |_2_3________|
      |__3________|       |_3__________|
      |______3_2_0|   =   |_______3_2_0|
      |___________|       |____________|
      |__1________|       |_1__________|
      |___________|       |____________|

Octave doublings: If you are playing on a modern, single-string guitar, 
  consider adding or substituting the next octave up almost everywhere 
  you see a 4th- or 5th-string note. 

Performance style: consider playing the 8th notes inegales, that is, as dotted 
  8ths or "swing" 8ths (triplet feel).

Leading measures in Carre's original tablature:
  1 6 12 17.  Last measure is 19.
