Why can't I get this to work (viola tuning)
\version "2.10.0"
\new TabStaff <<
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #'( 9 2 -5 -12)
{ c g d' a'}
>>
This is the open tuning for a viola.
I've tried all sorts of combinations and I can't get the bottom C to
register as an open string, though if I put in an extra string, even
with the same value (-12) then I get the bass string registering as
open. What am I doing wrong??

String numbers
Got it! LilyPond will happily put string numbers on notes which are part of a chord, but doesn't think it's worth while doing for single strings. But when you get into the more arcane areas of arranging for plectrum- played instruments, it can actually make a difference to have fingering and string usage made explicit. Is there a workaround, or is this something which has to be implemented?

padding
Using Lilypad v. 2.10.29, I have some notes (d above the treble stave) which have fingerings above them, and the ottavo instruction as well. Fingerings and ottavo are competing for the same space. How can I separate them? I can't see a suitable \set instruction, and I can't see how to turn off the command which positions fingering numbers to one side of the note. Also, I need to indicate that a number of notes need to be played on a particular string. How can I extend the string-number symbol to indicate more than one note. The other thing which is driving me potty (though trial and error solve it) is the positioning of the notes using ' and , and how long each instruction lasts. I think I'm getting the hang of it . . . I'd be grateful for some help . . .
