This isn't a feature request!  I know that it's not impossible for you.
I obviously misunderstood the information given in the
fret-diagram-interface.  I was convinced that I could simply override
the dot-placement-list just like any other *user settable property*
listed there.

Don't spend too much of your precious time on this (unless you really
want to).  I might as well be able to transform the whole library with some
clever RegExps/Emacs-Macros.  I have to give it some thought.

Thanks again!
