Well - that was a red herring really and never leave any stone unturned to
coin a few phrases.
It surely is referring to the 5-course guitar.

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.
Never find any reference about the use of the 4 course mandora in Roma.
Also I think it's unusfull for a continuo realization.
The know very well what was chitarrone and what was chitarra.
I'm sure it means just 'chitarra'.
Nearly on topic, there is this one book with Alfabeto plus B.C. from
begining to end; CANZONETTE, SPIRITUALI E MORALI, Che si cantano nell'
Oratorio di Chiauena, eretto sotto la Protettione di S. Filippo
Neri...con le lettere della Chitarra Sopra Arie communi, e nuoue date
in luce per trattenimento Spirituale d'ogni persona. 1658.
These are secular ariaa based on ostinato basses, with sacred text.
Nothing to do with liturgy.
