Agreed! What I was aiming at is: Is it possible to define some  
conditions that should only apply to tablature such as:

if harmonicByFret = #7 than \transpose c g'  {pitch}  i.e. #(define  
fret-pitch (vector '(0 4 0)))
if harmonicByFret = #19 than \transpose c g'' {pitch} i.e. #(define  
fret-pitch (vector '(1 4 0)))

and so on. I know it's (if at all) pseudo code but maybe it helps to  
convey the main idea. If these conditions were possible you wouldn't  
have to override the tab numbers.

If this is complete nonsense please ignore it! ;-)
