Chords with stretched fingering for FretBoards and TabVoice

Sometimes chords with a stretched fingering are required. If not otherwise specified the context property maximumFretStretch is set to value 4, though, resulting in a warning about “No string for pitch ...”, and the note is omitted. You may set maximumFretStretch to an approppriate value or explicitly assign string numbers to all notes of a chord to fix that.

% The code below prints two warnings for the second chord,
% which may be omitted by uncommenting the following line.
%
% #(for-each (lambda (x) (ly:expect-warning "No string for pitch")) (iota 2))

mus = {
  <c' bes'>
  <c'\2 bes'>
  \set maximumFretStretch = 5
  <c' bes'>
  <c'\2 bes'\1>
}
