Hi Devin, There have been some discussion about that on the list: - http://lilypond-s-support-for-tablatures.3383434.n2.nabble.com/Baroque-lute-tablature-td4008032.html - http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Implementing-Baroque-Lute-tablature-td125364.html#a125365
Maybe Trevor would tell you how far he went? More recently I started something: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Ancient-tablature-template-td160034.html#a160096 And added this on the LSR: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=920 But, since I'm not a lute player I did not go any further (it was more a tool to make guitar transcriptions) There's also a new feature with the v2.19 for additional bass strings, see: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index.html HTH.
