+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.
