I believe that this is wrong -- fingerings are fingers for fretted
instruments, not frets.



http://codereview.appspot.com/6099046/diff/1/Documentation/notation/fretted-strings.itely
File Documentation/notation/fretted-strings.itely (right):

http://codereview.appspot.com/6099046/diff/1/Documentation/notation/fretted-strings.itely#newcode68
Documentation/notation/fretted-strings.itely:68: when assigning strings,
this distinction is not academical.
I don't think this is true.

Fingerings specify string and finger; the fret is automatically
calculated.

Tablature notations heed string assignments, which determine frets.
Then non-assigned strings try to find frets within a specified reach.

I think this paragraph is wrong.  If it is right, please create a
snippet that shows the difference.
