  • Il Ratto: Roles are Proserpina (C1 clef), Diana (C1 clef), Pluto quiesce dal inferno (F4 clef).
  • Fede, idolatria: Roles are Idolatria (C1 clef), Fede (C1 clef), Furore (F4 clef).
  • Bononcini: Clori dà te sol chiedo: the manuscript is unmarked, but RISM lists the instrumentation as "S (2), A, vl 1, vl 2, bc".
  • Bononcini: L'Euleo festeggiante nell'ritorno d'Alessandro magno nell'Indie: Grove Music lists this as having 10 voices.

Martin Luther University Halle (p.7) lists the tenth voice as "Nearco", a role that is not in this score. Tagged for both for now.
