If one interprets the text of the manual the line

\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #1

Huh?
I quote:
Even when ‘minimumFret’ is set, open strings are used whenever
possible. This behaviour can be changed by setting
‘restrainOpenStrings’ to ‘#t’.
But that does not depreciate the basic question about the logik. One
might extend the logik question to ask why \set TabStaff.minimumFret
= #1 does not do what one would expect spontaneous from the
statement. The question why \set TabStaff.restrainOpenStrings = ##t
does not do what one would expect spontaneous from the statement.
Anyway, as I just pointed out - I can live with this
contradictories. So simply let me annul my question.
There is no contradiction. If you are playing around the fifth fret,
you can perfectly well still use empty strings. So there is a separate
setting to stop that, like if you are playing barred.
I find absolutely nothing in the documentation that would suggest any
"contradiction" or whatever else. Please quote any passages that would
make you think otherwise.
