Comment #3 on issue 2085 by address@hidden: Overriding stencil of  
StringNumber leads to "programming error" messages
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2085

Since not being able to override the stencils to ##f (the obvious way to  
switch off string numbers) without warning leads to sub-par spacing, and  
since parallel typesetting of string-less score and string-interpreting  
tablature is a standard technique, I consider this important to fix.

Since I don't have mentionable engraver skills, if nobody else can be  
interested in this task, I would code the simple workaround probably some  
time this year.

Since it is not my area of exercise, I would rejoice when somebody else did  
either version.
