Are you willing to read the LilyPond Contributor's Guide and submit a 
GitLab merge request for review?  If not, we could create a ticket and 
someone would undertake it within the next fifty years, maybe.

One of the things you would be asked in either case is where this 
request is grounded.  Are these tunings just your peculiar favorites? 
Are they universally recognized among lutenists?  Are there other 
contrasting conventions?
