Hi Lilyjoe. As far as I know, to make a tab in Lilypond you have to input note names. You should try TuxGuitar. It allows you to make tabs by specifying string- and fret-numbers (you don't need to know he notes). TuxGuitar can also export a Lilypond file. So: 1) download TuxGuitar, 2) type in your strings / fret numbers to make the tab 3) export it from TuxGuitar to Lilypond format 4) process the resulting .ly file with Lilypond and get a beautifully typeset tab...
