RE: fingering orientation problem

[Nick Payne]

Yes, the <> construct around the note is needed. If you just have e-4 e^4 e_4, all three fingerings will appear above the notes. You need <e-4> <e^4> <e_4>.

 

^ and _ also work with articulations and slurs and ties. It’s briefly mentioned in s.2.2.3 of the LM as working for articulations and fingerings.

Is the use of _ and ^ with fingerings documented anywhere?  I don't remember seeing this. It's certainly easier than using the chord angle brackets.

 

Am I correct in thinking that you'll still have to use <> if you want the fingerings to go left or right of the note? In that case, \set fingeringOrientations is still necessary for single notes sometimes.
