+@subsubsection Predefined fret diagrams
+@cindex fret diagrams
+@cindex chord diagrams
+
+Fret diagrams can be displayed using the @code{FretBoards} context. By
+default, the @code{FretBoards} context will display fret diagrams that
+are stored in a lookup table:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, ragged-right, quote]
+\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
+\context FretBoards {
+ \chordmode {
+ c1 d
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+The default predefined fret diagrams are contained in the file
+@code{predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly}. Fret diagrams are
+stored based on the pitches of a chord and the value of
+@code{stringTunings} that is currently in use.
+@code{predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly} contains predefined
+fret diagrams only for @code{guitar-tuning}. Predefined fret
+diagrams can be added for other instruments or other tunings
+by following the examples found in
+@code{predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly}.
+
+Chord pitches can be entered
+either as simultaneous music or using chord mode (see
+@ref{Chord mode overview}).
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, ragged-right,quote]
+\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
+\context FretBoards {
+ \chordmode {c1}
+ <c' e' g'>1
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+It is common that both chord names and fret diagrams are displayed together.
+This is achieved by putting a @code{ChordNames} context in parallel with
+a @code{FretBoards} context and giving both contexts the same music.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, ragged-right, quote]

+for each of 17 keys. A complete list of the predefined fret diagrams is
+shown in @ref{Predefined fretboard diagrams}. If there is no entry in
+the table for a chord, the FretBoards engraver will calculate a
+fret-diagram using the automatic fret diagram functionality described in
+@ref{Automatic fret diagrams}.
