Yes I saw it but I didn't find so much doc on it (maybe my fault ;-/ ).
Nevermind, I would be glad to use the FretBoards context to build a
chord lib.

Please note I originaly started to write thios lib to save (?!?!?) time
when facing similar chords.

I will have a closer look on it.

On an other hand, I am still facing to a human readable naming
convention as long as names only accept letters.
