A few might be interested to know that the new version of MuseScore has pretty o-kay lute tab capabilities (with playback). It's not as good as Fronimo, but it's free and works great for 6-course, while 7 & 8 course is managable if the bass lines are not too active (for 8 course, you have to write with a full 8-line staff, then hide the extra lines and write in the slash notation in text -- yeah, that part's not so great, but it works).
It's available for windows, max, and linux: https://musescore.org/ Slainte! Samuel J.

The good news is that I've plugged an Adesso windows keyboard into my MacPro and everything seems to work the way it is supposed to, both Insert and Delete keys work perfectly in combination with the Windows/Command key. Enjoy!
