Carl,

I sort of lost track of this but now that the semester is over I can 
update the docs about this topic and put my examples of "just chords & 
lyrics" either right in the docs or send to Valentin for the snippet 
list.  When you get a chance would you send me the latest .itely file? 
BTW I'm not sure whether this topic belongs in fretted strings or in 
chords or what.  Any thoughts?  The fretted-strings.itely file used to 
have the @TODO about it, but it could just as easily go in a different 
place.

Jon
