I believe that this is wrong -- fingerings are fingers for fretted instruments, not frets. ...

The documentation itself contains examples with "finger" 6 6 7 or so: I think it
was me who added them some time ago.  Checking the code, it might indeed be that
the only question asked of the fingering might be "0 or not".  I will
cross-check with actual tablatures tomorrow.

If you are right, the existing examples in the docs need some changes.
