If you have a newer version, the lute can be found in the instrument
   list.

   When you use the wizard, there should be a menu "plucked instruments"
   filed under "early music".

   Click "Lute (Tablature" and you get a 6 line staff.

   Edit as usual, but you get letters. As I said, more than 6 courses
   doesn't seem to be possible.

   If you find out how to add diapasons, please let me know.

     For French tabs with good optics you can also use MuseScore, which
     is
     also free.
     However I have not yet (on Linux) found any support of more than 6
     courses.
     Editing is quite easy.
