I'm looking into this issue.  The patch may be relatively simple to
implement.

I'm currently thinking of a context property defaultStrings that would
specify the strings to be used in calculating a tab when no string
information is given for a particular note or chord.

I'm also using a fingering of 0 to be an open string.

I'm thinking that the fingering of 0 should not show up as a fingering
anywhere.  If that is not correct, where should a fingering of 0 be
displayed?

Thanks,
