RE: Moving guitar fingering orientations

[Nick Payne]

Thanks, that fixes it. But according to the documentation, the single note
chordal construction is only needed for string indications, not for
fingering
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Inside-the-staff#
Fingering-instructions). So it looks like you can show fingering without
making every fingered note a chord, but if you want the fingering to display
anywhere except the default location, then it has to have < > around each
fingered note.
