+Fret diagrams can be added to music as a markup to the desired note. The
+markup contains information about the desired fret diagram, as shown in the

+There are three different fret-diagram markup interfaces: standard, terse,
+and verbose.  The three interfaces produce equivalent markups, but have
+varying amounts of information in the markup string.  Details about the
+markup interfaces are found at @ref{Overview of text markup commands}. 
+
+You can set a number of graphical properties according to your preference.
