A better definition of x would be
x = #(define-music-function (parser location notes) (ly:music?)
#{
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
\set tablatureFormat = #x-tab-format
$notes
\unset tablatureFormat
\revert NoteHead #'style
#})
This version allows you to call
\x {c4 c c c}
if you want to have lots of notes muted.

I assume that this will happen when tablature is updated. As far as I know,
nobody is yet planning to do the work on tablature. They are only planning
to put in the requests.
I'd be happy to have a Frog (even a new Frog, like you, Marc, if you're
interested or willing) take responsibility for tablature. I'd give any
advice that I could, and you'd have access to help from the lilypond-devel
list for those things that are beyond me.

Search lilypond-user archives and lilypond-devel archives for posts from
danalute, and then follow the threads.
