Hi!

Sorry for delay. I am still brave enough to add "this" to the tracker but not
sure that this issue is clear enough, sorry.

(Missed space after "#2" causes "Expecting number or string, found
#<unspecified>" error)

I am affraid, if this is _a question_ ("should or should not"), it's still not
a valid issue report?

(I believe i will not forget about this issue, it's marked with ugly red text
on black background in my mailer,-)

Ok, let me try:

%-----------------8<--------------------------------
Summary: fingering indications are not displayed if entered with no angle
         braces.
Type: Defect
Priority: Medium

music = { <c>4 <c> }
fingers = { s4\2 s4-\rightHandFinger #2 }
\score {
     << \new Staff \context Voice = "A" \music
        \context Voice = "A" \fingers
     >>
}
%-----------------8<--------------------------------

How do you think -- is this correct enough? May be this should be enhancement
request (with different summary)?

Is it a valid report at all?

Excuse me, my knowlegde is weak in this area. And i feel like i have no time
to digg.
