Huh?

I quote:

       Even when ‘minimumFret’ is set, open strings are used whenever
    possible.  This behaviour can be changed by setting
    ‘restrainOpenStrings’ to ‘#t’.

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.
