We do 1/6-comma meantone. It works for them, almost for me. Seven Tears has such a dense tab that no fretting system is perfect for lute. I have to avoid some thirds, notably g# on the first course in the chord of E-major. I finger my E-major chords with the third on the second course. That works. Anyway, it did last time I played with them.
