Wow. I have read that 3 times and still don't get it. Ok, I just got it. Your saying that in standard notation, how do you know which string to play a particular note on when the same note can be played on different strings.
Nelsonite and a couple of the other theory guys can help with that.
I would think it would be economy of motion and experience. You would have to look at the piece and get a feel of where the music is going and what would logically fit. Sorry I can't be of mor help. I know there is a ball park way of knowing what the likely string range will be for a particular note but, it has been years since I have thought in standard.
