Re: Problem with fingering

[Trevor Daniels]

It would be nice if LilyPond were able to resolve every possible
fingering configuration optimally, but it is a complex problem.

Generally, the options available work pretty well, and when they
don't there is the possibility to tweak the positions of individual
fingerings to your liking. Like this:

\relative c' {
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <c-1 d-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . 0.7)-2 a'-5>4
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
  <c-1 d-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1.2 . 0)-2 a'-5>4
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down right up)
  <c-1 d-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1.2 . 1)-2 a'-5>4
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
  <c-1 d-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1.2 . 0)-2 a'-5>4
}
