    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The fretplot LuaTeX package provides batch generation of scale and
    chord diagrams for plucked string instruments, such as the guitar.

    - Flexible & Automated:
    Highly customizable and automatable via simple, powerful file formats
    for describing fretboard diagrams. Easily generate batches of diagrams.

    - Attractive Defaults:
    Comes with sensible, visually appealing default settings.

    - Music Theory Aware:
    Includes easy-to-use LaTeX macros that understand music theory.
    Render guitar scale diagrams by specifying the musical scale or
    scale type via built in macros or directly via degree, pitch class,
    or interval formulae.
