Re: fingering orientation

[Jonathan Kulp]

It looks as though the command to set fingeringOrientations was not 
affecting the lower voice when you created multiple voices using <<{ \\ 
}>>.  If you put the \set fingeringOrientations command inside the {} of 
the voice that actually contains the fingerings, then you get the 
orientation you want.  This, however, makes the spacing messy as there's 
a documented bug having to do with the spacing of fingerings to the left 
of arpeggios.  Here's the working code (with the buggy spacing):

\version "2.11.62"
\include "deutsch.ly"

upperStaff = \relative c' {
        \clef treble    \key as \minor  \time 2/4
        
        \repeat volta 2 {
                \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
                <ces-4 es-3 ces'-1>4(\p^"Andante" <ces es ces'>) |
                
                <<
                { b'\arpeggio( as) }
                \\
                { \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left) <ces,-4 es-3>2\arpeggio 
}
                >> |
        }
}

lowerStaff = \relative c {
        \clef bass      \key as \minor  \time 2/4
        as | as
}


\book {
        \score {
                \context PianoStaff <<
                        \set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t
                        \context Staff = upper \upperStaff
                        \context Staff = lower \lowerStaff
                >>
                \layout { }
        }
}


Hope that helps,

Jon
