I don't recall that any of the original sources actually go into sufficient detail for us to be certain what players did in the 16th century. Therein lies the problem. Players being human beings they probably did what they found worked for them - every player would have done something different

I wasn't able to access the facsimile of this manuscript so can't really comment in details. However I think it is a bit doubtful whether Losy actually composed any music specifically for the guitar; what survives in manuscript may be arrangements of lute pieces. It is also unlikely that he com

The music in tablature appears to be for 5-course guitar. There are a few 5-part chords which could be strummed but it seems to be mainly in lute style and perhaps mid 18th century. How do we know that the music is actually by Losy? Which library owns it today? The rest seems to be for mandora
