Any progress here? David?

When I use a template in Frescobaldi for electric bass it doesn't seems 
to work, I get a error message, see below. Besides that, the tablature 
is placed above the notation by default which is not how it should be 
imho. Also  the  tablature has beams, which is odd for tablature...
