Yes, this won't achieve what you want, because the Tab_note_heads_engraver
resets the 'text property of the notehead.

I'm thinking that your post-engraver callback can just set the 'text
property.

TabNoteHead supports the text-interface, which has a 'text property.  It's
in the Internals reference.
