how to add barre indications to automatic fret diagrams? |

Hi all,
LilyPond’s automatic fret diagrams really are a very helpful feature! More
often than not it helps to not having to predefine and store a diagram in a
lookup table. But it has one little drawback: it doesn’t automatically include
a barre indication when several strings are to be covered by one finger. The
default diagram actually looks a bit as if six fingers were needed to play this
chord (see example).
\version "2.19.15"
{
\new FretBoards {
<f,-1 c-3 f-4 a-2 c'-1 f'-1>
}
}
I have had a look at the \override options of the FretBoard and many details
are customizable but of course it’s not possible to override a barre indication
that isn’t there. Now, is there a known way to (manually) add barre
indications to automatic fret diagrams or do I have to use predefined fret
diagrams for barre chords in general?
