I thought I already had posted the tune below at abcusers once, but I

Not really. Many historic tablatures sources used ordinary notes instead
of the tablature "flags".
Besides, even though the crotchet flag looks somewhat like a sixteenth
note etc., the similarities are more or less coincidental and has
nothing to do with shortened note values.
You can find more information about that, in just about every 15th and
16th Century lute tutorial, such as Barley's "New Booke of Tabliture":
