That can be accomodated too:-) e.g.

\relative c' {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \column {
        \bold \line { \circle {3} "= F# " }
        \bold \line { \circle {6} "= D " }
    }
    c1
}

That looks nice, too. In many guitar books, though, I see it placed at
the top, especially if other strings need to be downtuned also, like a
lot of metal guitarists do.

I prefer to have the indication just to the left of the first stave, and for
this I set the instrument name, as it automatically gets placed correctly:

\relative c' {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \bold { \circle {6} "= D " }
    c1
}

I have a score where I need to indicate Drop D tuning for the guitar
(6th string is tuned down to D). The typical way this is indicated in
guitar music is a (6) = D (circle with a 6 in it = D), placed at the
top left of page 1 under the title, but above a tempo mark. I am
relatively new to Lilypond and am unsure how to do this... any
suggestions?
