Notation Reference:
@ref{Fingering instructions}.
Music for plucked string instruments is frequently notated using a
finger/touch notation or tablature. In contrast to traditional
notation pitches are not denoted with note heads, but by numbers (or
-letterlike symbols in historical intavolatura). The numbers
-indicate on which string and fret a note must be played. The numbers
-are printed on top of each other if they are to be played
-simultaneously.
-
-By default, string 1 is the highest, and the tuning defaults to the
+letter-like symbols in historical intavolatura). The staff lines
+in tablature indicate the string on which the note is to be played,
+and a number placed on a staff line indicated the fret at which
+the corresponding string is to be pressed.
+Notes that are to be played simultaneously are vertically aligned.
+
+By default, string 1 is the highest string, and corresponds to the top
+line on the @code{TabStaff}. The tuning of the @code{TabStaff}
+strings defaults to the
standard guitar tuning (with 6 strings). The notes are printed as
tablature, by using @code{TabStaff} and @code{TabVoice} contexts. A
calligraphic tablature clef is added automatically.
@cindex fret
@funindex minimumFret
+@funindex restrainOpenStrings
By default pitches are assigned to the lowest playing position on the
fret-board (first position). Open strings are automatically preferred.
-If you would like a certain pitch to be played on a specific string
-you can add a string number indication to the pitch name. If you
-define pitch names and string numbers without a chord construct
-(@code{<>}) the string number indications do not appear in traditional
-notation. It is much more comfortable to define the playing position
-by using the value of @code{minimumFret}. The default value for
-minimumFret is 0.
+If you would like a certain pitch to be played on a specific string you
+can add a string number indication to the pitch name. If you don't want
+to have string number indications appear in traditional notation, you
+can override the respective stencil. Usually it will be more
+comfortable to define the playing position by using the value of
+@code{minimumFret}. The default value for minimumFret is 0.
+Even when @code{minimumFret} is set, open strings are used whenever
+possible. This behaviour can be changed by setting @code{restrainOpenStrings}
+to @code{#t}.
