Sarge, I think you'll find that the term _secunda pars_ universally
applies to the second section of a composition that was conceived in
more than one section, typically setting the continuation of a long
poem or another sectional text.
For instance, in Phalese _Luculentum Theatrum Musicum_, 1568, you'll
find on f.58v the Secunda pars and Tertia pars of a solo lute setting
of Josquin's motet, Benedicta es. The rubrics indicate that the motet
was composed in three sequential sections. On the following page, f.
59, you will find lute duets with the heading,_Sequntur deinceps
carmina, duabus testudinibus accomoda_ ([music] following the sacred
songs is accommodated for two lutes). The two different lute parts are
not labeled other than the fact that the primary part carries an
indication that this particular duet is _ad secundum_, or for lutes
tuned a step apart, and of course the duet part is printed upside down
so both can play from the same book.
There seems to have been no standard convention in labeling the
separate parts of a lute duet but the most typical indication for
different parts was to label them superius, bassus, or tenor, such as
found in Pacoloni, 1564. Nevertheless, _secunda pars_ is not likely
an indication for a separate instrumental part.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Numbers in a battle (Eysert), part 2
Oh! I didn't find that score. Thanks so much! One approach would be
to
intabulate the missing parts from the score, as a second lute part
(maybe using red notes) or just to fill them in so a single lute could
play the complete piece.
Since the first part does not have gaps or red notes, it, too might
have
to be edited (red notes or whatever) to fit the score.
All that is a bit of an undertaking.
Meanwhile, I am soldiering on through the MS.
