This is an alternative version of a transcription of "Volta" (originally written for Renaissance guitar) that I posted on 14 Feb 2023.

| The earlier version of 14 Feb. |
In my earlier version I tried to discriminate 2 or 3 voices, but playing it through after a few weeks decided that I was being over-academic in the setting, and that it could be played in "campanella" style.
I therefore removed all the voicing, simplified the note lengths to the minimum necessary for playing, and added the instruction: hold the notes for as long as possible, to achieve the campanella effect.
Also, I changed the tempo from 3/2 to 3/4. This enables me to use beaming on the notes to indicate where the (?hemiola) rhythm count changes from
1& 2& 3&
to
1&a 2&a
Some bars were, however, rather ambiguous, and I leave the interpretation up to you.

It always surprises me how many ways one can notate relatively simple tabs.
