Re: GDP -- Revised second draft of Fretted strings

[Carl D. Sorensen]

Thanks, Trevor.

Custom Tablatures was a section that I didn't edit; my contributions
were limited to the Fret Diagrams section.

Jonathan, as I worked on the FretBoards material, I came to understand
the fret assignment algorithm a bit.  Would you like me to take on
this section, or would you prefer to respond to Trevor's concerns?

Thanks,

Carl
