Well, at first I was pleased with the fretted/unfretted distinction, but you do have some good points. As far as I can remember, when we created the unfretted section it was mainly to address bowed strings issues, and possibly to add a couple of words regarding harp stuff. Since then, we have improved harp support quite a bit. Perhaps we could have plucked vs bowed instead of fretted vs unfretted: 2.x plucked instruments 2.x.a Fretted (guitar, banjo) 2.x.b Unfretted (harp) 2.y Bowed instruments 2.y.a Strings 2.Y.b Musical saw (or whatever) By the way, guitar/harp/piano/percussions are a same group in orchestras, whereas strings are another group. Besides, harp notation is (on a semantic/symbolic level) much closer to keyboards or guitar stuff than to violins, and strictly speaking the harp is as much (less) of an unfretted string instrument as the piano.
