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.

[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 ;-)
A quick search for "mandolin chords" on google showed lots of places with
chord diagrams for mandolin.  I'm sure that we'd welcome the addition of
predefined-mandolin-fretboards.  I don't play the mandolin, so I'm probably
not the guy to do it, but I'd be happy to provide advice.

The chords at

www.mandolincafe.com/pdf/pat.pdf
Even better:

I'll take these two as reference.

would be very useful as chord shapes, since they have no open strings and
can therefore be moved all around the fretboard to play whatever root is
desired.

Do you want to move toward that?
