As an exercise of sorts, I used the CPDL material at
http://www1.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/The_Whole_Booke_of_Psalmes_(Thomas_Este)
and merged the vocal parts for the Dowland pieces available there to
create lute parts. If you are interested, you can check this link:

Oddly enough, there does not seem to be an available copy of a facsimile
of Dowland's Lamentatio Henrici Noel except in the LSA microfilm
collection.

Thanks for the references and good information on Dowland!
I have looked into the facsimiles of both the Este and Ravenscroft
psalters. Este has 30 odd pieces by Dowland; Psalm 100 is not clearly
listed under his name, but it appears in the book by "I.D.B. of M.". It
is not the same as the setting I found. Ravenscroft also has Dowland's
100th, listed under "French tunes" (composer Bourgeois). (Ravenscroft
promotes Dowland to "Dott. of M.") This is the version from which my 20th
c. hymnal selection is taken. These are both in 4-part format and no real
help in producing a neat tab, however.
If anyone wants a copy of my hymnal version in staff (piano score)
notation, let me know.
Thanks again!
