Ticket 5025 [https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5025/](http://)
opened up the possibilty of reversing the order of strings by setting a
negative string-distance:
~~~~
\new FretBoards {
\chordmode {
c1
\override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.string-distance = #-1
c1
}
}
~~~~
Karlin High reported an unwanted side effect of negative string-distance values
(see attached image):
The "nut" doesn't properly align with the outer edges of the fretboard.
**Reason for misalignment:** half-linethickness of the outer strings is
effectively being subtracted rather than being added due to the negative sign
introduced by the negative string-distance.
Cheerio,
Torsten
