Re: Unicode Fingereings

[Mats Bengtsson]

It doesn't work directly since the default fonts and default
character encoding for fingerings can only handle numbers and are
different than for ordinary text. If you just want them placed
above or below the note, I propose to typeset them with a text
script instead:
c^"↑"

However, if you want the arrow to the left or right of the note head,
you want the to use the functionality of fingerings, but I don't know
how to specify anything else then numbers to be printed as a fingering.
