Ofcourse this typesets modern letters. One would have to create an 
ancient font and use that instead...

It seems like the dowland tab is typeset four times faster than the 
staff. I.e. quarter notes instead of whole notes, etc.
This could be achieved by subtracting two from all the durlogs and 
multiplying all the duration factors by four.
One could probably make a nice little scheme function doing this.
