I don't know much about tabulatures (is lute tab substantially
different than guitar tab?), but LilyPond's support of tabulatures is
flexible. Setting custom number of strings and a custom tuning is
possible, see NR 2.4.1
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#custom-tablatures
. Adding more tunings is certainly possible. I remember there was a
thread about it some time ago.

cheers,
