Yes, it's a very useful feature! The advantage is that you could also  
define some string numbers to show up in normal notation.

It's got nothing to do with developmental versions and it's not a  
bug! In your example you have to define the string numbers for g and  
b in order to get open strings in the tab because otherwise LP  
automatically calculates the fret numbers (AFAIK) within a range of 4  
frets. So in your case LP assumes that you'd like to play in fourth  
position.

Hope this helps
