Elucidate, no, speculate, yes.  As far as I know, the best published
listing of the works of Villa Lobos was done by David Appleby.  David
taught, as I recall, at Texas Christian University.  He donated his
scores to our University.  His bio bibliography was published by Greewood
Press.  I believe some places use his numbering but use the prefix A.1
A.2 etc.  The Greenwood usually use W.1, W.2 etc.  for all of their
publications.  David also did a biography of VLobos which was published
by Scarecrow press.

If I find out more, I will pass it along.
