Dear Lee,

Tldr: Inserting the following line between "myNotes = \relative c’ {“ and 
“\repeat tremolo 4  g16”

\override TabStaff.StemTremolo.stencil = #ly:stem-tremolo::print  

Will force LilyPond to have the tremolo sign show up on the TabStaff. However, 
you may notice that the tremolo signs are often colliding with the numbers. So 
I might suggest a global “bringing-down” of these tremolo signs, by adding the 
following line:

\override TabStaff.StemTremolo.extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)

Instead of -1, you might like -0.5. 


A bit more details: according to the documentation, TabStaff has some 
“stencils” turned off, and StemTremolo is one of them:

All the best,
Yoshi
