Oh sorry, I missed that.
Anyway, "H"s actually **showed up** in your previous file because you
used \tabFullNotation.  So you can comment out the Text_engraver and put
again \tabFullNotation:


\new TabStaff % \with { \consists "Text_engraver" }
      <<
        \context TabVoice = "hammersNpulls" { \tabFullNotation
\hammersNpulls }


"H"s will show up again.

You put the hammers in the TabVoice context: default tablature removes
markup, that's why you need \tabFullNotation.

If you search tabFullNotation definition in
usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/property-init.ly you'll see:

\revert TabVoice.TextScript #'stencil

If you comment out this line and run again the code above "H"s will
disappear again.

HTH,
