Thanks for elaborating. I do understand that. I’ve spent a lifetime transcribing songs for musicians who could not do notation. While a lead sheet doesn’t require my knowing how (which string) they produced a note, some patterns are no doubt harder than others. As a horn player, I use occasional alternate fingerings to perform a difficult passage or correct a particular horn’s intonation flaws. My experience is that no one would even notice. I think guitar and bass players have many more alternatives to consider.
