Perusing the section on chord frames... http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-fretted-strings#Automatic-fret-diagramsUnder "Automatic Fret Diagrams," in the music example there is a simple octave error. In the G chord, what should be the 2nd-string 'B' is written one octave too high. It should read:
... \context Staff { \clef "treble_8" < f, c f a c' f'>1 < g, b, d g b g'> }
This will cause the staff rendition of the G-chord to agree with the chord frame.
More comments on chords to come. I just finished with one leg of a project that requires chord symbols, an overall, I think the documentation is excellent. Thanks, Carl. I do have some suggestions for how LilyPond handles chord output though, which I'll spell out after I've had time to gather and analyze my thoughts.

I'm only now exploring that functionality and I need to read the manuals.Please do read the notation reference on chords. Before I rewrote it, I didn't understand about chords at all. I learned about them, and rewrote the section. I think it explains everything, with examples to clarify.I'm working on a project right now that involves using chord symbols and expect to be at it for a couple days. If I find discrepancies in the documentation or can suggest improvements, I'll try to do it as I work.OK, I'll look forward to your comments. Even if you can't suggest improvements, but only report on confusion, that would be helpful. Thanks, Carl
