Not easy to do... I'll try and see what happens.
Thanks a lot.

I'm not quite convinced by this form of transcription, myself. I
have seen editions using a similar technique in decades past,
including an early use of a computer program to convert tab to staff
(perhaps it was German tab and used black noteheads).
But Finale can recreate this style. I use Finale for tablature and
regular notation. (Samples on my Ning EG&V and Lute member pages.)
Gilberts notes are evenly spaced no matter what the the speed of of
the above-staff rhythms, and half-note noteheads (they are angled
more than whole notes) were used. So all notes would be entered as
half-notes and each measure may require a different time signature
(which will be hidden). In the Staff Attributes window, uncheck
Stems and Time Signatures. I would probably turn them off after
entering all notes and before final spacing and layout.
Here's how this could be done in Finale using the sample of Toccata
I:
Count each note entry in your measure. so measure 1 would be set to
1/2. Enter the notes. Set the meter for measure to 4/2 and enter
notes. Set meter of measure 3 to 7/2 and enter notes, etc. I would
enter the above staff notes as Lyrics. At this point I would turn
off Stem and Time SIgnature display.

In
fact it is not called a transcription but rather a
transliteration. It
can be seen here:

It seems to be a great idea to aply this concept to lute
transcriptions!
