Why not? We tend to overlook this lovely instrument - but surely there were a lot of them around - and with more than 4 courses if I remember aright.

That is interesting becuase if it just says "chitarra" it may not refer to
the 5-course guitar but rather to the 4-course mandora or possibly even the
chitarrone.

But that is perhaps another story.

What you think about the "Cantabo Domino" by Paolo Quagliati, (printed in
Fabio Costantini, Scelta di mottetti [...] libro secondo, Roma, Robletti
1618) where we have 2 pentagrams for the "chitarra"?


I made a mistake: there's just a continuo part in bass clef for the
"chitarra". No letters.
The organ part is printed on two pentagrams (lines): the bass part and the
highest voice of the vocal ensembe.
It's the only exemple I know, at least for sacred music.
