Nice idea. I might try that out on mine.
I'm also relatively new to tarp, but already find that each time I put it up I use a different configuration so I don't have the ridge line attached. I had the guylines attached, but more often than not they're in the way, so they came off too, until needed.

I'm fairly new to tarping but this is what I've recently settled on. It's been fine so far but I've not properly tested it in challenging conditions.
I keep the lines separate as I like to play with different setup modes. I normally run a ridgeline lopped through a bowline at one end and a truckers hitch at the other. The tarp is attached using Prusik loops (actually use Klemheist instead) and mini biners (going to replace with soft shackles).
Guy lines have a figure 8 loop on each end, one for the stake and the other is larksheaded onto the tarp. The tail from the figure 8 is attached to the main line with a friction knot to allow adjustment.
The lines stay knotted when detached and are wrapped up using the figure 8 method.
I've attached a quick mockup to illustrate. Any feedback on this method would be appreciated. This is the best I've come up with so far for an adjustable quick attachment option.
