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.

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.
M21 p1s1, p6-8s2.
M22 p2s1.
M23 p1s3, p6s4.
M24 p2s2.
M28 p2-3s2.
M29 p2-4s1, p4s1, p9-11s2.

M31 p2-4s1, p4s1, p9-11s2.
M32 p2-4s2, p6s3, p8s4.
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).
. = 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).
