Comment #1 on issue 2972 by [email protected]: Adding StringNumber 0 in TabStaff crashes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2972

No instruments (at least none of those supported by TabStaff) use '0' as a string number. The original intent of the input was to indicate an open string.

The open D string can be indicated in a few ways:   d\4  d\open   d-0

However, use of a circled '0' was reported in the mailing list (M. M. Ponce, "Sonata Romantica" edited by A. Segovia, in the image) where it seems to be used interchangeably with finger-number-0 to indicate open strings.

LilyPond will happily typeset a circled zero on the 5-line staff when given {d \0}. Absent other instruction, when the pitch matches an open string, LilyPond's TabStaff will indicate the open string. So desired behavior seems to be that TabStaff simply ignore a "string number" of zero.
