Re: Chord dictionary

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would propose to add the chord dictionary as a separate "score"
or "Text markup" or whatever, before the main score. One way to obtain
such a dictionary is outlined in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-06/msg00414.html
Note however that that answer was written before the FretBoards context
was available (or at least before I new
about it), so it's probably better to use that one to typeset
the fret diagrams.
