Huh?  I don't understand -- but that doesn't really matter.  If you 
want to
see something in the manual, please send me a short example
that demonstrates whatever you think should be in the manual.

As for "guitar fret numbers"... how should I rephrase it?  "Guitar
position and barring indications" ?


Proposed text for inclusion in the manual:
----
This example demonstrates how to include guitar position and
barring indications.

\relative c {
  \clef "G_8"
  b16 d16 g16 b16 e16
  \textSpannerDown
  \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'("XII " . "")
  g16\startTextSpan
  b16 e16 g16 e16 b16 g16\stopTextSpan
  e16 b16 g16 d16
}
