Hi!

Thanks for those tips! I'm making great progress now, after having fought
with both lilypond and tuxgutar for days!

Now I can see the chord names, the musics and the tab!

I didn't use the FretBoards because I couldn't see how to choose the chord
variant?

My next question, is how to reduce the duplication? My code exaple is below.
Is there a way of reducing the duplication of the notes in both staves, i.e.
in the example "c1" ?

mychords = \chordmode { c1:7sus4 }
  <<
    \new ChordNames { \mychords }
    \new Staff \relative c' {
      c1  ^\markup \fret-diagram-terse #"x;5;5;5;x;x;"
    }
    \new TabStaff  \relative c'{
      \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #6
      c1
    }
  >>

Thanks for all your help!
ps. Je suis français, je me suis inscris dans le group fr! ;-)
