Damien, There is a guitar notation transcription of much of Virchi's 1574 book: Paolo Virchi: Tänze, Canzonen und Phantasien Edition Schott 6429 Edited by Ferenc Brodszky. This is copyright 1970 by Editio Musica, Budapest.The edition is missing transcriptions of pieces 3-9, and 18 based on H.M. Brown's numbering.
Seven of the pieces are presented for solo voice (in mensural notation) and cittern in the original. The voice part seems to be incorporated into the cittern part, but it is (often) not the top line of the cittern part. The modern edition has six of these pieces (without the voice part) and does not indicate the "melody" line in any way.
I have xerox copies from the original of the seven pieces with voice part (called "Canzoni Napolitane" in Brodszky's edition). You can contact me off-list if you would like a PDF of these pieces.
