How to create empty fret diagrams

[PianoguitarGuy]

This is quite easy.  You just make a fret diagram with a specified number of
frets and a specified number of strings, with all the strings open.  You
then need to set the open-string indicator to " ".

Here's a sample:

%% start of cut and paste code


\version "2.11.64"

\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode{c''}
                        #guitar-tuning
                        #"o;o;o;o;o;o;"

<<
  \new FretBoards {
    \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'open-string = #" "
    \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'fret-count = #6
     \chordmode {
       \repeat unfold 10 { c''1}
     } 
  }  
  \context Staff {
    \repeat unfold 10 {s1}
  } 
>>



%% end of cut and paste code
 
\version  "2.12.3"

  \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
  \include "english.ly"


\addChordShape  #'NoTriad
                                #guitar-tuning
                                #'(
                                (place-fret 6 0 " ")
                                (place-fret 5 0 " ")
                                (place-fret 4 0 " ")
                                (place-fret 3 0 " ")
                                (place-fret 2 0 " ")
                                (place-fret 1 0 " ")
                                 )


\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode{ c'' }
                        #guitar-tuning
                        #(chord-shape 'NoTriad guitar-tuning)


<<
  \new FretBoards {
    \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'open-string = #" "
    \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'fret-count = #6
     \chordmode {
       \repeat unfold 10 {c''1}
     } 
  }  
  \context Staff {
    \repeat unfold 10 {s1}
  } 
>>

I saw this post about how to create empty fret diagrams but it didn't work 
for me it produced 10 C major chords.
So I modified it to get it to work
Thanks and hope this helps someone else...
