Finale (by Coda) provides fairly extensive support for generating Guitar 
tablature.  As with other things in Finale, you have an amazing 
degree of control over the output format, available only by mastering
an amazingly complex/frustrating user interface.  Once you get used to
it though. . .

Briefly, you can completely define the staves your music is to be displayed
on.  There are defaults for the Western 5-line staves, but you can 
define custom ones to support microtonal, etc.
