jkanter has kindly provided standard tunings for those songs. check them out. they are at the top of the page when you go to the tab.

you don't need to detune your guitar for them!

Pretty sure it's fairly impossible to tune a regular guitar down to baritone (it will break the strings) - you have to have a baritone guitar to play these (if i'm wrong, please excuse my stupidity)

Kanter has tabbed these in standard tuning, just click on "Standard Tuning - Official DMBtabs.com tab" in the info section underneath the CD's while at the Baritone tuning of these songs.

you won't break the strings by tuning down to baritone tuning which is to tune down 2 and 1/2 full steps (5 frets). but you'll most likely start breaking strings if you try to tune up to baritone which is to tune up every string by 3 and 1/2 steps (7 frets)

it's not worth tuning down that low to play Space Between and those if there's good standard tuning versions that you can use instead.
good, and you?
