Thanks!   This is interesting ... the voice staff is rendered above the
chord name and fretboards.  In the arrangement I'm working on, I want
the chord names, then freboards, then the voice staff and then the piano
accompaniment.  Specifically, this is right out of my .ly file:

\book {
  \score {
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff \PianoRHMusicIntro
      \new Staff \PianoLHMusicIntro
    >>
  }

  \score {
    <<
      \set Score.currentBarNumber = #5
      \new ChordNames \GuitarChords
      \new FretBoards \GuitarChords
      \new Voice = "melody" \VoiceMusic
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto melody \VoiceLyrics
      \new PianoStaff <<
        \new Staff \PianoRHMusic
        \new Staff \PianoLHMusic
      >>
    >>
    %\layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } }
  }
}

This (visually) gives me *exactly* what I want.  Your example, even if I
rearrange the order of the elements so that ChordNames is first, then
FretBoards, etc., it still renders the first Voice staff first ...
