Tablature in addition to normal staff

It is possible to typeset both tablature and a "normal" staff, as commonly done in many parts.

A common trick for that is to put the notes in a variables, and to hide the fingering information (which correspond to the string number) for the standard staff.

       part = \notes {
         a,4-2 c'-5 a-4 e'-6
         e-3 c'-5 a-4 e'-6
       }
       \score {
         \context StaffGroup <
           \context Staff <
             % Hide fingering number
             \property Staff.Fingering \override #'transparent = ##t
     
             \part
           >
           \context TabStaff <
             \property Staff.Stem \override #'direction = #1
     
             \part
           >
         >
       }
