    I'd rather prefer, if one could set
    stringOneTopmost = ##f
    in FretBoards and let the printing-procedure respect it (similiar to 
TabStaff)
    

That would work for the FretBoards context, but wouldn't work for fret diagram 
markups, I think.

Since we have two different possibilities for creating fret diagrams, I think 
we should fix it in the place where the fret diagram is created.  And all of 
the display of fret diagrams is covered in fret-diagram-details.

Interestingly enough, if I understand it right, string 1 is topmost for both 
left-handed and right-handed guitars.  So it seems to me that stringOneTopmost 
is probably not the right property to use.

Thanks,
