Hello and welcome. For baroque lute tablatures and translations into
staff notation go to http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jdf.luth/index.html and
download the files in zip format.

For some transcriptions for altgitarren of a wide range of works go to
http://www.performingarts.lu.se/forskning/publ/johnson_altgitarren.html
and order the book "Altgitarren" by sending an email to
reception@... and requesting it. They will send it along
quickly and will include an invoice. You can pay in US currency.

Hope this can get you started.

Robert
