Don't warn for fingerings outside of [1..5]
Since those are used for _fret_ numbering (and also interpreted in this
manner by the tablature engraver), I can't believe that this has not
been
fixed long ago.
Now of course, 0 should be allowed as well for fingering (empty string on
string instruments), and arbitrary texts (like for the thumb on a cello).
But notation is a fickle beast, and as long as we don't have a way to
easily use strings for fingering, warnings like that should probably only
be triggered if the numbers are _interpreted_ (like in tablatures) rather
than merely printed. So I likely won't revert this one for now.
I do need to work on the examples, however.
