You could work round this via music functions (which would give the
impression that the commands happen between notes), but postfix
notation is more in keeping with LilyPond coding style.

It doesn't make any difference if they're defined as TextScript grobs,
since they're not attached to the notehead (they would be aligned on
the PaperColumn to the left, ensuring they stay clear of fingerings
stacked above the note).  Though the pull symbol's origin means it's
possibly a bit too close for comfort.

Fingering.
