I have been able to work out fret diagrams within a particular file, but I
was hoping to have a permanent file of fret macros that I could call on
from other lily files using \include.
I know it is possible but, I was wondering if the file I called on in
\include frets.ly is written just the same as other lily files or do they
have special instructions?
