As I commented in my previous post, I don't consider this as an issue at
all. Indeed it was also common practice in many French baroque
tablatures to use lines to indicate the duration of open bass strings. I
see them serving as a visual guide and a reminder to the player.

As I already said, sometimes Vallet uses hold lines on empty strings.
Here is an example: In "La Courante Sarabande" (CNRS No. 74, page 177
or original source page 83) in bar 21 (first bar in 3rd stave in the
original) there is a hold line starting on the open 6th course.
I think it should start on the 3rd chord which has no hold line.
