As of now, there is no way to use the verbose syntax with FretBoards.
However, it could potentially be added.

Can you tell me more about what you'd like to do?  Perhaps show me the
diagram you'd like to use as a markup?

I've avoided using verbose as the primary syntax for fret diagrams because
it's so user unfriendly.  But now that I think about it, I could make
verbose syntax the primary form, and create a terse_to_verbose function that
would still allow users to specify the fret diagram with a terse string.

The only thing I can think of that verbose allows but terse doesn't is
multiple dots on a single string.

Thanks,
