Allowing fingerings to be printed inside the staff
By default, vertically oriented fingerings are positioned outside the staff. However, this behavior
can be canceled.

Customizing fretboard fret diagrams
Fret diagram properties can be set through 'fret-diagram-details. For FretBoard fret diagrams,
overrides are applied to the FretBoards.FretBoard object. Like Voice, FretBoards is
a bottom level context, therefore can be omitted in property overrides.
