There is a picture in the Manual which labels the Main Menu and the
Object Menu and a few other things.

That's an interesting case. I think you can do this by giving the TAB
staff a \with {} clause where you \omit Fingering Engraver. So you have
identical music with fingerings, but the TAB staff ignores them.
It would be a lilypond-user mailing list question to get the right
syntax for that - they are always keen to help given a minimal example.

(Yes, you could insert the \with {} syntax into the TAB staff using
Denemo, I can help you do that once you know what syntax you want. You
could then end up with a Template which you could load for new scores).
