Tangential, but not irrelevant: Napoleon Coste has arranged music by
Robert de Visee for 6-string guitar.

Dear Musicological Hive Mind: I have often heard it said that we are
the first generation of lute players to play so many different
instruments and tunings, from medieval to 6-13 courses to theorbo,
archlute and romantic guitar. Obviously Dowland never played Weiss
(unless he had a Tardis) but do we have any evidence for how long
Renaissance lute music was played beyond the death of the composer?
Would you ever hear a concert that combined Dowland with Blow or
Purcell (to stay in one country)? Milano and Monteverdi? After the
transition, would a performer own lutes both in d minor and viel ton
tuning (aside from an archlute in Italy).
If the answer is we don't know beyond personal opinion, that's fine
but I'm curious as to any surviving evidence.
Thanks
Danny
