I removed the arpeggio from the TabStaff because most people wanted fret 
numbers only in the TabStaff.
Please take a closer look at tablature.ly:  at the end, you'll find a 
\layout { ... } block which covers all the
settings for the tablature. Within this block, you see the fragment

% no arpeggios
\override Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f

so I override the stencil for arpeggios with ##f (this is the scheme 
value for the boolean 'false')
with the result that arpeggios don't appear. I you want to change my 
settings, you have to
\revert Arpeggio #'stencil to his former (predefined) setting.

So, all you have to do is creating a \layout block in your file  with

\layout {
 \context {
    \TabStaff
    \revert Arpeggio #'stencil
 }
}

or - if you want all of your files looking like like this - you put 
these lines in a separate file
called mytabsettings.ly and \include it in your files /after/ 
tablature.ly because otherwise
tablature.ly will overwrite your settings.

If you have other wishes for your layout, I recommend that you examine 
the \layout settings
at the end of tablature.ly - I tried to comment nearly every feature, so 
personal layout changes
won't be too difficult.
