Even though it's the target of the run I think it could be omitted because the melody is also a C and if it's omitted I doubt that it would be noticed. Besides, even if the C is omitted on the first beat it will sound on the second and third. > With regard to playing on the open string, I've basically > taken the phrasing as I would do it on a violin. But if you were going to play a chord on the violin following the run I bet you would like to have the B on an open string so that you could get your left hand ready for the chord. My answer to your original question is "no" if you insist on the Bs being played on the G string and the Cs following the Bs. > When including a > TabStaff, I don't really have the option to leave the string choice to > the discretion of the player. The advantage of tab is that it shows on what string to play each note. The disadvantage of tab is that it shows only one possibility of what string to use to play each note. > But I probably should at least remove the string indications in the > normal Staff. I don't see any reason to keep them, since a guitarist is going to play the run as he sees fit whether or not you include the string indications.
