Not strictly on-topic for an HTML group, but...

This may be of interest to anyone using mod_rewrite in combination with
mod_negotiation:

Agreed. Perhaps ciwa.site-design is a better choice?
x-posted, f'ups set.

A couple of notes. These might be corrections, I don't know.

I knew from reading Brad Choate’s Content-Dislocation article that
mod_negotiation forces the HTTP header Content-Location into the
output of any requests.

I found Brad Choate's page when I was investigating the troublesome
Content-Location header. I tried his fix on my production machine
(Apache 2.0) and at my hosting company (Apache 1.3). It didn't work in
either case. I posted a note on BC's blog to that effect. It might be
something I'm doing wrong, but I thought you should know.

A quick workaround would be to replace such links with the required
URL, so that the original code would become:
<a href="index#guitarchords">Chord on the guitar</a>

However, this might cause other browsers to re-request the file
unnecessarily....

Instead, use this:
<a href="./#guitarchords">Chord on the guitar</a>
