Dear Osvaldo,

The complete Compendio Numeroso by de Huete is pulblished by Maria Rosa Calvo-Manzano (ed.), Editorial Alpuerto, S. A. (Madrid, 1992). Volume I is a facsimile of the 1702 and 1704 books and volume II is a transcription of the music from them. The transcription of the tarantela is in Volume II, pp. 82-85.

I don't think there are modern transcriptions of your other sources

[Osvaldo Laviosa]

I don't expect to find modern transcriptions about my requested sheetmusics. Better if I find the original ones.
Anyway, have you the de Huete tarantela one?
Thanks, Osvaldo

I do not have the Huete tarantela myself but I have seen it in a library while doing research. I also noticed that there are transcriptions of the Huete and other Spanish tarantelas for guitar and harp in the book by Maurice Esses: Dance and Instrumental Diferencias in Spain during the 17th and early 18th Centuries (Stuyvesant, NY: Pendragon Press, 1992).
Have you investigated your nearest university or conservatorio library?
