Hmm, even though I recall creating the Baroque Lute Tab example I had
managed to forget about the existence of RhythmicStaff in LilyPond.

Looking at the command:
Command: Tablature
Converts to tablature notation (print only)
Location: Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Staff Properties ▶ Tablature
Internal Name: TabStaff

I see that it can be customized to create RhythmicStaff instead: I
right clicked on the command and got the script into the Scheme Window
and then changed TabStaff to RhythmicStaff througout.
This gives the script

8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><
;;;RhythmicStaff
(let ((tag "RhythmicStaff"))
        (ToggleDirective "staff" "postfix" tag " \\new RhythmicStaff <<\n"  
DENEMO_OVERRIDE_LILYPOND)
        (ToggleDirective "voice" "postfix" tag "\n" (logior 
DENEMO_OVERRIDE_GRAPHIC DENEMO_OVERRIDE_LILYPOND))
        (ToggleDirective "clef" "postfix" tag "{} \n"  (logior 
DENEMO_OVERRIDE_GRAPHIC DENEMO_OVERRIDE_LILYPOND)))
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><

Then executing the Scheme on a new blank staff gets you the Rhythmic
staff you are looking for.
So I'll try and get round to making that a staff type available in the
Denemo menu (you can do that yourself, or put the script in a palette
button to do the same thing).

Let me know if this works for you.
