Oops, I missed a mistake in your logic.  The bend_engraver is responsible
for drawing beam indicators in both the TabStaff and the Staff.  But it's
the tab_note_heads_engraver that is responsible for changing the number of
the tab-note-head to the amount of bend for that note, as well as for
changing the staff position of the bent note.
