Put a pulley between the lever and the keyhead and take the cable from the lever around the pulley and back to the changer.

Tablature KILLS SKILLS.
The uses of Tablature is addictive and has been linked to reduced musical fertility.
Those who produce Tablature did never use it.

Are you looking for a way to lower with an all-pull cable guitar?

If so, have your tuning keys pivot with a pull like this where the tuning keys are mounted on a plate with a finger that pokes through to the bottom on the cabinet. The tuner pivots on the tuning key shaft that is passing through the keyhead, with a hole hopefully lines with an oilite bushing:


Rods are used here, but they are pull rods, so a cable would do the same thing. This is like a Bigsby pivoting tuning key system.


Or you do the Bigsby, Wright and Sho-Bud trick of bellcranks that are mounted BEHIND the fingers -- between the fingers and the endplate:
