Hi again Carl

Another major addition! The new fretboard additions are
very impressive!  All very clearly and concisely
written except for one paragraph, which just confused
me:

2.4.1.4 Custom tablatures

I found the first paragraph less than clear, maybe
because I'm not familiar with tablature.  In particular,
I was left with the following questions:

a) what is the order in which the strings should be
  specified - seems like lowest to highest?
b) if so, why subtract more to give the pitch of
  higher strings?
c) the sentence starting "The numbers specified ..." seems
  to go wrong in the second half, so what is it saying?

After reading this I felt the only way to understand
it was to go away and experiment :(

Subject: GDP -- Revised second draft of Fretted strings


Dear Lilypond Users and Developers,

We're pleased to announce a revised second draft of NR 2.4 Fretted strings.

This draft includes the new predefined-fretboards functionality that enables
transposable guitar fret diagrams.

Please proofread this section carefully, and try an example or two to see if
the documentation is clear (especially 2.4.1.5 through 2.4.1.7).

As always, the GDP documentation can be found at
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/index.html

Thanks in advance for your reviews.  Your careful reviews will help the
quality of the documentation match the quality of LilyPond output.

Carl Sorensen
