I tried something like this once without the staff overly and it worked OK
using a metatool, but I had to create the circles myself because whatever
I found available in Finale was the wrong size and couldn't be resized to
work for my purposes. I was hoping there was an easier
workaround, like a library of metatools. I did save what I did before, and
possible could create a library from that, but I was hoping not to have to.
How do you overlay a non-visible staff? Are you just working
in layers?

I don't think you could do it with a font because each number sometimes needs a circle and sometimes does not.
I use a second staff that overlays the visible tab staff and that shows only
a small circle articulation that sits on the half note stems (of the tab
staff) to distinguish halves from quarters. This staff also shows the
augmentation dots by the stems. Everything else is not visible.
You could do the same with circle articulations that are automatically
placed around the note number of the tab staff. It sounds awkward to set up
but once you have a staff to use as a template you just copy the visible tab
onto the second staff and use a metatool to click the circles wherever you
need them.
