Hi, I´ve read this as well as the ricercar thread, after a while abroad, and as I see it, lute tablature, notated in your own favourite way, (there are many...) is the most logical way to play a chordophone.
What has not been mentioned is the need to keep the fingering as long as you possibly can. Or should I say: "Don´t take any finger away, that can be held as long as possible." (That's what my teacher told me, anyway...) The lutenists of yore, ususally marked the notes-to-be-held with a cross, but logical thinking, or perhaps logical motorics :) will probably do the trick.
