+Most of the notational issues associated with guitar music are
+covered sufficiently in the general fretted strings section, but there
+are a few more worth covering here. Occasionally users want to
+create songbook-type documents having only lyrics with chord
+indications above them. Since Lilypond is a music typesetter,
+it is not recommended for documents that have no music notation
+in them. A better alternative is a word processor, text editor,
+or, for experienced users, a typesetter like GuitarTeX.
