Hrm.

The biggest bugs are:

* fretboards don't print (I have paper now)

* spacing adjustments need to take place in the notation to accommodate 
fretboards drawn above adjacent short duration notes, as they currently just 
jumble together

* given a jumble situation as just described, increasing the size and/or 
spacing of the notation does not move the jumbled chords by the correct 
proportion, so they just wind up hanging in completely the wrong place

I also have real concerns about the chord picker dialog.  Having to click in 
five different places to insert a pre-defined chord is pretty ludicrous.  
The "Ok" button is a bit misleading, and should probably say "Insert" 
instead.  There aren't nearly enough chords in the factory supplied database, 
forcing people to use a really unwieldy, though functional, editor in order 
to create new ones almost 100% of the time.

If we can make them print, I think I'd vote for b) in the hope that some other 
third party will step up to iron out the problems in what Stephen started.  I 
would not vote for c), because nobody ever finds and turns on obscure 
configure options.

If we can't make them print, and thus make this whole thing at least partially 
of some use to someone, then I have to go with d) for now.
