The manual for abctab2ps gives this:
'Bourdon strings or "diapasons" are written in braces "{}". You can use both
the ledger line notation for courses 7 to 10 and the number notation; eg.
"{,,,a}" and "{10}" both mean the tenth course, where the first notation
results in an "a" with three ledger lines and the second results in an "X".'
Perhaps you could try more commas? Maybe contact Christoph Dalitz from his
abctab2ps website.
Wayne's tab program goes to 14 as follows:
a, /a, //a, ///a, 4, 5, 6, 7
The numerals indicate the number of ledger lines (used in Baroque tab).
