Re: Stand alone guitar chord diagrams

[Federico Bruni]

Hi Kevin

please reply to the list, you'll get much better help than from me (and the replies will be available in the archives).

Have a look at the snippet called "Customizing fretboard fret diagrams" down from here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#predefined-fret-diagrams

Before asking here, I suggest searching the LilyPond index of Notation Reference (bottom of left menu). It took me few seconds to get from there to that snippet...

Then of course you can ask if you have problems.

Hi Federico,

is it possible to add color and numbers to the individual black dots? In
what documentation or searching for what text can I find further
information?

Thanks,

Kevin Tough
