Re: Moving guitar fingering orientations

[Jonathan Kulp]

Ah.  I see it now.  Yes, this is easily fixed.  How can I alter this 
snippet?  Valentin, this is your purview, right?  Is it o.k. if I just 
make these small changes and email it to you?

Incidentally I find the use of the word "chord" here very misleading, 
something that has been cleared up in other parts of the docs but 
remains here.  Chord is a musical term meaning multiple notes sounding 
at once, and to distinguish this from the Lilypond meaning of chord 
(i.e. anything that appears inside <>, whether it's one note or more 
than one) it would be better to use "chord construct," as I do in 
fretted strings (the snippet in question is not really part of the 
fretted strings file, it's just referenced there, although it looks 
seamlessly integrated when you look at it on the website).
