This sounds great!
Unfortunately this thread got broken some days ago. Harm already sketched a
first automated solution (see
http://osdir.com/ml/lilypond-user-gnu/2015-05/msg00565.html). It shows a
problematic area of implementing the approach “Any time two strings have the
same finger, they could be part of a barre": transposing chords with open
strings.
