Someone should look at the fonts in abctab2ps,
<http://www.lautengesellschaft.de/cdmm/>, which I would expect to be
licensed under a free license, and to include most of what lilypond
would need.
A short look at these fonts discovers that some glyphs are just chosen from
other fonts (Times, StringWalker Borrono, and Courier) and all other
elements
are just postscript drawings, so it should be possible to adapt this
accordingly
(or as an alternative redraw from scratch).
I am not at all familiar with these old tablatures, but they look just
amazing,
so simply for typographic and aesthetical reasons, these should be made
possible
with lilypond. I have some literature about old lute tablatures, so when
I find the time,
I will have a deeper look...
