The only fingering notations I can think of that might be special to
strings would be:

the thumb notation;
fingered harmonics; and
string or position indications.

Fingered harmonics are probably a simple combination of note head and
fingering (it's actually in the current 2.6.1.1.). String or position
indications are markups. The thumb notation, however, seems clearly to
be a fingering indication specific to strings. It also seems to me that
the fingered harmonics, string or position indications, and probably
multiple fingering possibilities should be in the LSR and maybe should
be referenced under strings in NR 2.

1.7.1 is all they need.  Well, maybe \open as well... although -0
works almost as well.

Nope.

Granted, I cheated a bit by including \thumb in 1.7.1, but I don't
think there's anything else.  I suppose you *could* argue that
parts for very inexperienced string players could benefit from a
\textSpanner that says "II" (ie a hand position).  However, that
kind of thing is IMO best covered with snippets anyway.

I would expect (and hope!) that the snippet lists for NR 2
sections would be quite long.
