Explanation of symbols: 
  " = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor. On 8th and dotted 8th notes, 
      consider a shorter, 3-note figure - main note to upper neighbor and back 
      to the main note.
  , = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
  # = vibrato.

Octave doublings: To connect a musical line on the modern guitar, or fill out 
  the texture, consider adding the octave above the bass. For example, see:
  m43r1, m46r5, m63r3, m64r1, m67r1, m71r1, m75r1, m106r1, m111r2, m112r1, 
  m116r1, m135r2, m141r2-3, m155r1, m158r3, m191r3.
