Hah!  Do you know I was looking for the same thing the
other night?

Mine's tuned do-re-mi-fa-so-la.  IIRC, I found a few
trovere pieces that fit in that range, and possibly a
Cantiga.  I'll check when I get home.

There was an impromptu class at Pennsic about the
6-stringed lyre, and we got a few "traditional" tunes
out of that.  I think they're folk tunes from
Norway or somesuch.  I'll see what I wrote down about
them, but I'm not sure if I've got much in the way of
documentation.  Heck, I'm only about
95% sure that I walked out of there with correct
tablature for them.  I can give you what I've got.
