Hi Blake, unfortunately the only thing we can do now is to add this to our issue tracker. Dear Bugsquad, should this be added as a comment to http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=703 or as a new issue? Carl, i dare to cc you because you are knowledgeable on Frets (and also the issue mentioned is yours).
