Hi David,

I can confirm markup->string is the main cause for the slow down. My
other suspicion was `bend::remove-certain-tab-note-heads' being called
excessively, which is likely true as well.
Using markup->string to detect open strings is bad anyway.

The needed info is processed in `determine-frets' from
translation-functions.scm. The context-property noteToFretFunction is
set to this function.
So I likely should try to move the calculation currently done in
`bend::remove-certain-tab-note-heads' into the engraver.

Thanks a lot,
  Harm
