We have done that for fretted instruments. We have lots of different guitar, bass, banjo, and ukulele tunings defined, along with a mandolin tuning (see scm/tablature.scm). We haven't defined tunings for violin, viola, bass, or cello since they aren't fretted instruments, and tablature was developed for fretted instruments. I'm not saying we can't do this; I'm just saying we haven't. I think there are two questions here, both of which are important: 1) How do we add a new tuning? 2) What default tunings do we add? We should deal appropriately with both.
