Hmmm, me neither: Stems pointing upwards collide with the fret
numbers. I've grepped around a bit and found the
tablature-stem-attachment-function, but it does not help much. I'll
look into it some more and try to come up with a better patch.

Stole it from the old extra-offset in TabNoteHead (scm/define-grobs.scm)

Yeah, that would be a better solution.

Well, 90% of the tabs I've seen print on strings, but some old banjo
books print above strings. Maybe we should just stick with whats
common and print on strings.
