That was fast!  Thanks, Carl.

Yep, I was just waiting until I'd finished entering all the chords.
That's now complete: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=649

That was going to be my next question.  I believe I've entered all the
necessary chords now (I left out things like minor 9th chords, since
there are a few variations out there for these, and besides they're not
in the set of predefined guitar fretboards).  The complete list is now
on LSR and my personal website (URL above).

As I mentioned before, would it also be possible to get the set of
standard ukulele tunings added?  Again, these are:

  ukulele-tuning            g'c'e'a'
  ukulele-d-tuning          a'd'f#'b'
  ukulele-tenor-tuning      gc'e'a'
  ukulele-baritone-tuning   dgbe'

And if the documentation could standardize on "ukulele" instead of a
mix of that spelling and "ukelele", well, that would be even better :)

Thanks for all your help.  I've managed to transcribe a few songs using
these fretboards, now I just need to learn to play them!
