We have done that for fretted instruments.  We have lots of different
guitar, bass, banjo, and ukulele tunings defined, along with a mandolin
tuning (see scm/tablature.scm).  We haven't defined tunings for violin,
viola, bass, or cello since they aren't fretted instruments, and tablature
was developed for fretted instruments.

I'm not saying we can't do this; I'm just saying we haven't.

I think there are two questions here, both of which are important:

1) How do we add a new tuning?

2) What default tunings do we add?

We should deal appropriately with both.

Thanks,
