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
+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.
