I'm happy with Finale. I make several guitar arrangements a week with
it, and all my lute transcriptions.

Thanks, Rocky! Finale was my notation software, like a million years
ago. I liked it, and it's nice to know it uses tab in case the early
music ones don't work out with my university.

If you are already a Finale user, you might try that program's tab
options.
All my tab scores are done on a Mac using Finale (see one of my Ning
pages). David van Ooijen also uses Finale.
It's not particularly well set up to handle early music tablature,
but I'm happy with the results and with the help of some customized
fonts Finale handles most of my needs. There is a lot of control
over appearance available if one digs in to the detailed settings.
I can select and drag a system of tablature onto a regular staff
system and it will convert it to notation, though if there are more
than one note per "event" they convert to chards rather than
separate voices.
Finale can also convert notes on a staff to tab by selecting and
dragging the notes from a staff system onto a tab system.
