As you probably know, according to their geographical origin, the ouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oud) have some various tunings.
This means that there is not a standardized tuning that would satisfy everyone.
Mine, for example (Arabic oud -> Iraqi oud version) is tuned: D2 / A2 / D3 / G3 / C3 / F4
It's probably not the same for yours.

From an etymological point of view, as you probably also know, the oud has given its name to the lute. So, the better way is to create your own model, indeed, from a lute (6 courses, or 7 courses), with your own tuning. This done, you keep it as template for reusing at each new score.
