Do you have a file 
Documentation/snippets/new/fretboards-alternate-tables.ly?

IF you do, you may need to run

scripts/auxiliar/makelsr.py

in order to get the file from Documentation/snippets/new to
Documentation/snippets.

But I'm not 100% sure about that.

Probably.  The patch is relative to master, not relative to the previous
patch set, if I understand correctly.

I'm sorry.  The only problem is that I haven't taken the time to review
them. I'll try to get that done today.

Thanks,
