If you look at
https://musescore.org/sites/musescore.org/files/2020-05/lute-tab-bug.png
(don't worry about the colours) there's a font which I like.  A similar
font is used in abctab2ps (it's called "frFrancisque" there), and you can
see it in use at https://www.lautengesellschaft.de/cdmm/sample.png

Is a similar font available for Lilypond?    There are unicode glyphs at

https://www.w3.org/2019/03/smufl13/tables/french-and-english-renaissance-lute-tablature.html

but these are in fact "private use characters".

Anyway, such a font, in Lilypond, would be invaluable for typesetting of
early to mid 17th century music.

Thanks,
Alasdair
