Martyn--
        I'll second the recommendation for abctab2ps.  It does a variety of
tab styles as well as staff notation (multiple staves, an assortment of
clefs, lyrics), and tab with staff.  And it's free.  Christoph Dalitz keeps
the program well-maintained, and the manual for it is very clear.  Runs on
Mac or PC.  Christoph is very helpful with set up and questions.  Certainly
worth a try.  I can send you some ps or pdf samples if you'd like.

Regards,
Leonard Williams
