The tablature examples given (section 2.4.1) show Italian lute
tablature: frets given as numbers, and written on the line.
However, French tablature uses letters between lines, as shown
here:

Note durations are given above the staff, with only changes given.
A variation on this was for music for the bass viol in different
tunings (called playing "lyra way"; sometimes the viol thus played
was called a "lyra viol") has the notes given with heads, not
stems alone:

Is it likely that Lilypond will provide such tablature at some
stage? Currently, if I want to typeset tablature, I need to use
different software.
Thanks,
Alasdair
