I think this would be great - thanks for your investigations!

Hmm, I don't think that this is possible, because \tabFullNotation changes
properties within TabStaff and TabVoice contexts.

I tried to rewrite \tabFullNotation in terms of a "global" command, so that
it works document-wise, say

\version ...
\tabFullNotation

upper = ...
lower = ...

\new TabStaff <<
 \new TabVoice { \upper}
 \new TabVoice { \lower}
>>

but that does not work, either :-(
Perhaps someone else knows how to put a complete layout block containing
two \context entries in a single command?
