Re: Error using Fretboard in English

[Graham Percival]

Is this a report of a problem in the docs, or a problem in
something you wrote yourself?

Any language includes must go after other builtin lilypond
includes.  I can't find the string "Fretboard" in any of our
snippets, so I suspect the code below was written by you.  If you
fix the order, it should work.

Cheers,
- Graham
