I try to put fret diagrams at the beginning of a piece.
My input file looks like this:

<<
       \new ChordNames \chordmode {
         g:m
       }
       \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
         \markup { \fret-diagram #"w:4;4-o;3-o;2-1;1-3;" }
       }
Warning: staff-affinities  should only decrease
Meanwhile, I had another idea, because the "lyrics", i.e. the fret diagrams,
are left-aligned in respect to the ChordNames, so I found a better solution,
just for the record:

\markup {
    \fill-line {
      \center-column { Gm \fret-diagram #"w:4;4-o;3-o;2-1;1-3;" }
      \center-column { X77 \fret-diagram #"w:4;4-o;3-o;2-1;1-3;" }
    }
}

Why not just use a FretBoards context?

Good question; it looked way too complicated for my purposes.
I need some chords played on a mandolin, and there are no
predefined fretboard diagrams for mandolin[1] in lilypond.

Regards,

Marc

[1] Searching the internet, there seems to be the general opinion
that mandolins aren't supposed to play chords at all, but it sounds
cool ;-)

Thanks,

Carl
