`place-fret` is part of the `\fret-diagram-verbose` markup; the
documentation you cite is part of the markup's description. Attached
you can see it how it looks like in the PDF version of the NR.
Can you please explain how and why you missed that? While
`place-fret` is just a ('named') list as part of the arguments of that
markup; it is not a function.

I'm not a guitar player; my knowledge of fret diagrams is essentially
zero. If you can cook up examples please help! You can contribute
them easily by adjusting
https://wiki.lilypond.community/wiki/Fret_diagrams_explained_and_developed
The next Wiki import will then update the LilyPond documentation.

What index entries (and where) do you want me to add?
