Yes, this is one of the Katrina Hunt transcriptions/arrangements; I
have them all on my Caroso website, in clean, printable PDF versions.

What this version lacks is a notation of the repeat patterns for all
the various Contrapassos. The usual sequence goes like this: dancers
ask musicians, "Do you have X", and the dancers often don't have it if
it's 16th century Italian, but if they do, they ask, "What's the
repeat pattern?", and the dancers answer, "What's a repeat pattern? We
just punch PLAY on the CD..."
