I agree that this can be done, but it seems "improper" to me to include
as a .ly file a whole chunk of nothing but scheme code.  To me, it would
be better to get rid of the # in front of each #(define... and save the
file as fret-diagram-markup.scm, then modify the (use-module ...
statements wherever it is necessary.  But I can see that it would work
as a .ly include.

In my distribution, fontify-text is found in scm/stencil.scm

Thanks for your review,
