    Hi folks
    
    I cannot find anything in the documentation.
    As far as I can see, the barré in fret-diagram commands must start and 
    end on the same fret. It makes sense.. however, how can I represent a 
    chord where another finger presses a different fret while the barré is 
    active on the same string?
    
    Easier to say with an example.
    The first string should have a barré on 5th chord and also the third 
    finger on 7th fret.
    I can make the barré span until 2nd string only.
    
    \version "2.19.82"
    
    \markup {
      \fret-diagram-terse "x;o;o;5-1-(;5-1-);7-3;" % this works but barré 
    does not end on 1st string
      %\fret-diagram-terse "x;o;o;5-1-(;5-1;7-3-);" % this returns "Wrong 
    type argument in position 1"
    }

In order to have two indications on the same string (the end of the barre plus 
another fret) you will need to use either the fret-diagram or the 
fret-diagram-verbose format.  fret-diagram-terse only handles one indication 
per string.

\fret-diagram "c:3-1-5;6-x;5-o;4-o;1-7-3;"

\fret-diagram-verbose #'(
  (mute 6)
  (open 5)
  (open 4)
  (barre 3 1 5)
  (place fret 1 7 3)

HTH,
