I agree that it's not yet ready to replace the current algorithm.  I was
thinking more of when it's done.

We could add a context property to the TabStaff and FretBoards contexts
that is note-to-fret-procedure.  It would then use whichever procedure was
desired to convert notes to tabs.

In that way, we wouldn't replace the current determine-frets function.
We'd just have the alternative to call another function.

That seems like the best long-term way of implementing it, rather than
using a music function.
