Only with fret-diagram-verbose. fret-diagram and fret-diagram-terse have syntax aimed at simplifying input for traditional uses. fret-diagram-verbose does away with all assumptions and lets the user have complete control.

now that makes sense. is that only possible with fret-diagram-verbose
or can i do the same with \fret-diagram?
\fret-diagram #"6-x;5-3-A;4-5-B;3-5-C;2-5-D;1-3-E;" won't work,
complaining about "Object is not a markup".

What does the R indicate? the "R" probably indicates the root note of the scale – at least i've seen it written that way before in guitar literature (not a player, my girlfriend is a guitar teacher though...). regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The fret board could be an image but >it is not necessary. As it stands now, Lilypond cannot produce the scale diagrams you require. All of the dots can be put on the fretboard using the fret-diagram-verbose syntax. The R codes can be put inside the circles. There is not currently a choice to make colored dots. They can either be black or white. There is no capability for labeling the fret dots next to the dot. Adding the extra labels next to the dot would not be a big change. I assume that the numbers are finger numbers? It would just require the addition of a different location for the fingering (we currently put them at the top of the string, at the bottom of the string, or in the dot). But if we put the finger numbers outside of the dot, we'd have to have another kind of code for the R. What does the R indicate? When we've done scale diagrams for people before, rather than doing black and red, we've done black and white. How important is the red?

Re: Stand alone guitar chord/scale diagrams
Thanks everyone for the information and tips on "Stand alone guitar chord diagrams"! I will however be reverting to manually doing them in GIMP because that will give me the flexibility to do exactly what I want. I may also check out an Inkscape script but when it comes to music with chords, Lilypond will be great!
