Comment #1 on issue 2972 by address@hidden: 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.
