Re: using \include for fret diagrams

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, using \include is completely equivalent to
pasting a copy of the included file at the place where you
have the \include command, so there's nothing magic at all
with \include.

I guess your real question is how to define a macro for
a particular fret diagram. You can simply do:
myfret = \markup \fret-diagram #"4-2-2;3-1-1;2-o;1-o;"

and use the corresponding macro like

c^\myfret
