Nice!  I don’t like the tiny time signature “2” on the first page but apart 
from that: well done.  Last year I used lute tab to typeset a Dowland fantasie. 
 It’s an  excellent typesetting program for different styles of ancient 
tablature and it might serve as a reference for further improvements, see e.g. 
ftp://ftp.cs.dartmouth.edu/pub/lute/TabManual.pdf.  But I like the idea that 
this can be achieved now from within LilyPond.  BTW: would you be willing to 
share your .ly-file?

thanks
