As a Music Educator for over 30 years, I can tell you that the best success I have is when I include correct notation and the tab on the page which I give to a student. I often am asked to give my teaching materials to pals at jams, & they love it for the ease in reading as well as the fact that all of the information is there--notes, tab, chords directly above the correct note or the space between the notes. When I have given scores to other Musicians for rehearsal/performance, the best results come from the same. As a Musician, I want a score to have correct notation.   
Take a look at beginning Music books-for example most Piano primer books. There is an important reason why each page will normally have 2 or 4 staves with 4 equal sized measures on each stave. This uniformity assists the beginning student in being able to learn to read. This works well for persons of all ages & experience. (And, hey, we older folks often like the big notes, too!) Obviously, I often put more staves than 2 or 4 to get more Music on one page so I am not using reams of paper. **The beams are there to assist the eye in telling you where the notes are according to the beats. They are a very important part of the score. [most printing houses traditionally use beams for instrumental Music & flags for vocal Music. Even in the university when I was much younger & had better eyes, I used to add beams on my choral Music so as to more easily read it--I noticed a couple of others in choir who had also been in instrumental Music as kids did this, too] Notes & rests should be equally spaced in the measures, asccording to duration of note--whole in the middle of the measure, quarters equally spaced, half notes in 4 should be where the first & third beat quarter notes would go et al.
If I am using tablature for a stringed instrument, I place it under the score, & the tab symbol for each note is directly under the note in the above notation. The uniformity of the equally spaced page of Music (in addition to my teaching skills, the player's ablility to hear, the lyrics & such) help assist the non-music-reader to figure out the rhythm of the notes.
   When you are writing notation for all but the experienced Musician,   uniformity of the score can make the difference in whether or not the person can read the score.
