In the hypothetical case that the user wants a zero as a fingering on 
the wrong place
(for whatever reason), I think that giving a warning, calculating the 
right tab number
and still using the (wrong) fingering would be the the best approach.
In this case, when someone wanted to play this piece of music, it will 
sound right, and
he will probably ignore the zero.
