The challenge is that note heads are intended to be centered vertically on
the desired placement.  And apparently your usage for tablature is to have
the fret labels *rest* on the staff line, rather than be *centered* in the
staff gap.

This is potentially resolvable, because markup text does have a baseline
reference.  It will require something more than adding the offset, however.

Probably a new stencil function should be defined, and the stencil
property of the TabNoteHead overwritten.

I don't have time to write the new function right now, but I hope that
pointing you (or others) in the right direction may help.

Thanks,
