Re: Y-coordinates don't work in offset function

Try

\version "2.11.51"

fingerOffset =
#(define-music-function (parser location offsets) (pair?)
   #{
     \once \override Fingering #'extra-offset = #$offsets
   #})

% \fingerOffset #'-0.2 #'-0.3 % moves fingering .2 spaces left and .3 down

\relative c''' {
   \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
   \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
\fingerOffset #'(0.7 . -3.5)
%\once \override Fingering
%  #'extra-offset = #'(0.7 . -0.6)
  <c-4>4
\fingerOffset #'(0.7 . 0.0)
  <g-3>
\fingerOffset #'(0.7 . 3.0)
  <d-2>2
}
