Please look at the output from (maybe uncommentthe commented lines):

\markup
  \override #'(fret-diagram-details . ((barre-type . straight)))
  \fret-diagram-verbose
   #'((barre 6 5 5)
      ;(place-fret 6 5 2)
      ;(place-fret 5 5 2)
      (place-fret 4 4 1)
      ;(place-fret 3 5 3)
      ;(place-fret 2 5 3)
      ;(place-fret 1 5 3)
      (barre 3 1 5))

Isn't it what you want?

Cheers,
  Harm
