Somebody's bound to use that expedient anyway and the
almost-but-not-quite results will be seen as LilyPond's fault.
I agree with the idea of properly supporting negative string-distance, but I
don't think that using a negative string-distance is the best way to build
left-hand fret diagrams.
I think we should have some property that explicitly says the diagram is a
left-handed diagram.
And, I believe that we should have some sort of display on the left-hand
diagram indicating it's a left-hand diagram. But I don't know what that should
be.
Thanks,
Carl
