Paul, I've got one in Fronimo 2.1 french tablature format for Italian 4 course tuning that I started back in 1999. I know there are a couple of mistakes in it, so I'll look at it again and fill out the incorrect/missing bits. the most common major and relative minor keys. If interested, I'll see if I can finish it up by this weekend and send you a copy.
