Documentation/notation/fretted-strings.itely:68: when assigning strings,
this distinction is not academical.

I don't think this is true.
Fingerings specify string and finger; the fret is automatically
calculated.
Tablature notations heed string assignments, which determine frets.
Then
non-assigned strings try to find frets within a specified reach.
I think this paragraph is wrong. If it is right, please create a
snippet that
shows the difference.
The documentation itself contains examples with "finger" 6 6 7 or so: I
think it was me who added them some time ago. Checking the code, it
might indeed be that the only question asked of the fingering might be
"0 or not". I will cross-check with actual tablatures tomorrow.
If you are right, the existing examples in the docs need some changes.
Description:
Document "fingerings" being frets rather than fingers for fretted
instruments.
