Tablature - my 1.6 proposal

[Rune Zedeler]

We need to get something relatively futuresafe up and running in 1.6.

I suggest that we wait with the syntax extensions till 1.7 - no one of 
the "tab freaks" know anything about Bison, and hence it would take too 
much work. If one REALLY needs to get fingerings in the tab, one CAN 
always do c-3-#'(finger "4").

My suggestion is:
Add two boolean properties to the TabStaffContext: highStringOne and 
stringOneTopMost.

highStringOne decides whether the string with highest pitch or the 
string with lowest pitch is string one, and stringOneTopMost decides 
whether string one is printed on top or bottom of the tab.

If you have not hacked too much in the tab-engraver (Jiba) I will gladly 
implement the above. I think that this is a fairly compromise that do 
not lock us up in a dead end when we decide to implement a better syntax.
