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.

However I have not yet (on Linux) found any support of more than 6 courses. Editing is quite easy.
