Carl,

thank you for your kind instructions. I managed to apply your patch  
(issue2208048_1012.diff) and to rebuild LilyPond v.2.13.35. I tested  
your patch and it looks marvelous to me. Thanks a million! I will  
come back to you with my five chord-shape-fretboard-table-files as  
soon as they are ready to be presented.

BTW at the end of the build process I got the following errors:

Dissecting...lilypond-book.py: error: file not found: fretboards- 
alternate-tables.ly

make[1]: *** [out/notation.texi] Error 1
rm out/weblinks.itexi
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pls/lilypond-git/Documentation'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I also tried to apply issue2208048_11001.diff but to no avail (loads  
of errors/process aborted). Is there anything else I have to pay  
attention to? Do I have to remove old patches before I can apply new  
ones?

Thank you for your help!

P.S.: Is there anything wrong with the two patches I sent you?  
Anything missing?
