There is a chaconne to close one of the duos in the London manuscript (the one often referenced as duo 4, SC 14). The flute line has been reconstructed a number of times. I'm sure others on this list can point you towards available scores. Here are a few recordings of the piece that I like. Sacrilege perhaps, but I really like Duo Ahlert & Schwab's approach, reconstructing the soprano line for 6-course mandolino: http://www.amazon.com/Sonatas-Baroque-Lute-Mandolin/dp/B000MRP1SW/. I'm still a fan of Michel Cardin's monumental effort to record the whole of the London Manuscript: http://www.amazon.com/Weiss-The-London-Manuscript-Cardin/dp/B0007PSA50/. Sollscher's approach is odd in playing the lute part as a solo without reconstruction: http://www.amazon.com/Greensleeves/dp/B003M13BAA/. The result is an odd alternating of flourish-rich couplets with those dominated by simply pulsing chords.

But I seem to recall there is a Weiss ciaconna which is supposed to be the lute part of a duet with flute or other such thing. Firstly, is this the case? Secondly, if it is, has anybody reconstructed a notional flute (or other...) part to go with it?
