Which bits of this are you interested in? It will be easy to add the
changes to the default size and the "in-dot" style having the fingering
in the dot, but do you particularly want to input the chords via their
names rather than via the notes? That is, do you care whether the
LilyPond syntax is \chordmode { c } or the { < c' e' g'\4 c''-3 >} which
Denemo generates by default? (The -3 here is the fingering for 3rd
finger on the top c'').

The thing you can do straight away is to generate those diagrams by
inputting the actual notes and adding the string number 4 on the note
that must sound on the re-entrant string and the fingerings on each note
that needs them (again the fingering commands are in the
Notes/Rests->Markings->Fingerings etc->Fingerings menu).
I'll do an example tomorrow.
