OK, I see. I just noticed that you mentioned fret-diagram-interface in
your bug report, sorry for referring you back to that, my error.

I think there are three themes (at least):

- Add any color possible 
- process color (and other properties?) individually 
(expand cargo space-dimension color) 
- allow other signs that the numbers roman / arabic you have any other ideas?


It would be nice if in addition to color, you could place a sign, specify a 
text (circled) eg: "5J" for straight or just "3b" or "3m" for minor third "3" 
or "3M" for major third ... As a language to another designations may vary ... 
Instead of text, it could also simply specify the name of the interval and if 
necessary lilypond result in the target language? level of implementation, I 
think it would give the possibility to the user to specify the format of the 
list of points (description of each). The various possibilities which I think 
(string, freight, finger, color, text, or interval). So if the user specifies 
the following format:   + (string, cargo, color) will seize eg 4-4-red   + 
(string, cargo, color, interval) will seize eg 4-5 {-yellow- 3M}   + (string, 
freight, finger) will seize eg 4-5-1  ...

I'm not that we have sufficient material to call this a feature
request just yet, Eluze.

I'll check with the devs and get back to you.

Cheers,
Colin.
