Hi Steve, Fear not! Help is at hand! The British Lute Society has a good number of publications of music for renaissance lute, from absolute beginner standard all the way up. Here's a link to their catalogue : [1]http://www.lutesociety.org/pages/catalogue
You don't need to be a member to order them, though members get a cheaper deal. Good luck!

A sincere Thank You to all who replied to my post. I've downloaded some things and ordered more. Was delighted to follow all the links and see that there is so much available. Although I've followed this list for quite a while, I think it's time to join up, so I'll do that next. Thanks once again.
