Unfortunately, you don't give any concrete problems with the TabStaff of 
LilyPond. Can you elaborate a little bit on what is not acceptable and what 
could be improved?

You mean one tab staff and one mensural staff above each other? What's the 
problem with LilyPond? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here, because you can 
have a tab staff and a mensural staff in a staff group in LilyPond.
