For the record.
There are some lute tablatures of Bach's works for lute, namely for
BWV 995, 997, 1000.
But for some of them it's sure Bach didn't wrote the tablature
himself, for others it's quite unlikely.
Ofcourse this is a sidenote, not meant to challenge your argument.
Replace Bach with S.L.Weiss (or other lute-players/composers) and
you're right anyway.

Cheers,
  Harm
