Re: Problem with fingering

[David Stocker]

This is a problem for me as well. I prefer my fingerings to the left of 
notes and chords in the score (for guitar music) and when notating 
chords that contain seconds, I'm forced to choose which notes to 
indicate fingerings for in order to avoid collisions. Another related 
problem: In chords involving notes with accidentals, some fingerings are 
displayed to the left of the accidental (good) while fingerings on notes 
without accidentals are not shifted left (ugly-and sometimes results in 
collisions between accidentals and fingering indications). It would be 
great to be able to tell LilyPond to display all fingerings for a chord 
in one vertical column, and to automatically resolve fingering 
collisions when there are fingerings for intervals smaller than a third.
