Re: LH fingering not working

[Jonathan Kulp]

Carl,

Perhaps we should add an example in Notation Reference where it talks 
about "controlling the placement of chord fingerings" showing that even 
for single notes you have to use a chord construct for the 
fingeringOrientation to work.  I didn't get to do this in fretted 
strings because "fingering" was handled elsewhere in the documentation.

Jonathan

p.s. Steven, if you look at the documentation for 2.11 under "Specialist 
Notation" then "Fretted Strings," you'll see an excerpt I engraved where 
I make use of \set fingeringOrientations and the extra-offset technique 
I mentioned in the last email.  Just click on the musical example on 
this page and it'll reveal the code:

I've tried positioning the command in the Score and Layout sections, but it still doesn't take effect.
