Thanks, Eluze.

Could you, or the original poster, suggest some syntax for this
feature? From past experience, I believe it is the first question the
devs will ask.

Also, are you and the OP aware of the fret diagram interface,
documented here?

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/internals/fret_002ddiagram_002dinterface

There are also a lot of snippets for fret diagrams, including some
that customise the appearance of the stopping marks:

Cheers,
