Description

Your idea

I would expect that setting the string number in a notation-staff, it automatically updates the string and fret in its linked tab-staff.

Right now setting string symbol does not change the fret, and viceversa, moving the number to another string in the tab-staff does not add/remove the string number in the notation.

fret-tab

Problem to be solved

Keep linked staves synchronised.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the linked-staff behavior shown in the attached GIF, then trace how string-number edits in a notation-staff and string/fret moves in a tab-staff are synchronized. Done means both directions keep the linked staves consistent.
