Quit concise:

\version "2.16.1"

underscore =
\markup \combine \with-color #white "|" "_"

Fred =
#(define-music-function (parser location name times) (string? list?)
  $(make-sequential-music
    (map
      (lambda (tms)
        #{
           \lyricmode {
                   \set stanza = \markup \fontsize #-2 $name
                   \repeat unfold $tms  \underscore
            }
        #})
      times)))

notes = \Fred "Note" #'(6 17 16 16 16) % list of notes per line

fretno = \Fred "Fret" #'(6 17 16 16 16) % list of notes per line
