When I upgraded to El Cap I installed (drag & drop) the version of iTunes I was running in Snowy, so as far as I can see your friend should be able to revert her version of iTunes similarly...without resorting to nuke & pave (because iTunes doesn't sink its hooks into OS X like some other apps do), but...
- She'll need a source from which she can extract (using Pacifist if necessary) an older version of iTunes, with which she'll probably be stuck.
- Her current iTunes Music Library won't run with the older version of iTunes, so she'll have to reimport all of her music.
Edit: If your friend has got her Mac backed up she should be able to use the version of iTunes in the backup's /Apps folder, and she should also be able to import whatever she needs from ~/Library/iTunes, her original "iTunes Music Library" in particular.
Afterthought: She
maaay find her original iTunes Music Library in her current iTunes folder, and although it will have been renamed, it can be reverted.
