Re: Discrepancy in documentation,

[David Stocker]

Perusing the section on chord frames...

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-fretted-strings#Automatic-fret-diagrams

Under "Automatic Fret Diagrams," in the music example there is a simple 
octave error. In the G chord, what should be the 2nd-string 'B' is 
written one octave too high. It should read:

...
\context Staff {

   \clef "treble_8"
   < f, c f a c' f'>1
   < g, b, d g b g'>
 }
> >

This will cause the staff rendition of the G-chord to agree with the 
chord frame.

More comments on chords to come. I just finished with one leg of a 
project that requires chord symbols, an overall, I think the 
documentation is excellent. Thanks, Carl. I do have some suggestions for 
how LilyPond handles chord output though, which I'll spell out after 
I've had time to gather and analyze my thoughts.

Regards,

Dave
