If I may chime in...
This may just be a matter of editorial taste, but would it be possible
to make it so the 'X' on in the Tab staff is not the musical glyph from
Feta, but rather the character 'capital X' from the same font set being
used for tab numbers? For example, instead of #'glyph-name #"2cross",
use whatever command would call the capital X from whichever font tab
numbers are set to?
I believe that this looks better on the page than mixing music glyphs
and text glyphs in the tab staff, particularly where tab numbers and
muted strings are part of the same chord.
In the industry, most houses are currently using Helvetica Condensed
Bold or some derivative (which, incidentally, matches better with the
'modern' tab clef) for tab numbers, but I've seen older copy done with a
Roman font in the tab staff (and a fancier, more rustic looking tab clef).
Thanks, Marc and Carl for making this happen. I'll post some editorial
suggestions here for how bends should look soon (next week, really! I've
had occasion to work on it this week)

At the moment, I don't know how to manage this.
I found it,
<
% Dead Note
\tweak #'stencil #ly:note-head::print
\tweak #'glyph-name #"2cross"
\tweak #'style #'special
f'\1
% End of Dead Note
f\4
4
Dead note is applied only to "f'\1" as we expect, and "X" is displayed on
both,
staff and tabStaff.
Now i don't have idea how to make it in a lilypond function :) to use
\chordNoteDead instead of add all tweaks lines...
however it don't matters, now we know that it is possible to show X in tab too
by notes instead of chord.
Here's one way to do it:
deadNote =
#(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
(set! (ly:music-property note 'tweaks)
(acons 'stencil ly:note-head::print
(acons 'glyph-name "2cross"
(acons 'style 'special (ly:music-property note 'tweaks)))))
note)
{
<f\4 \deadNote f'\1>
}
Marc, feel free to add this to tablature.ly if you want to.
HTH,
Carl
Thanks for your patience.
