Alignment of stroke fingering

Guitar stroke fingering is lower case, but with the orientation set to up,
the p is not correctly aligned with the other characters in a succession of
fingering indications, and with the orientation set to down, the i is
similarly misaligned. 

This doesn't look pleasing to the eye, and indeed, when I flip through some
of the commercially engraved guitars scores that I have, they align the
lower case p and i as if they were set in running text. See attached scan
for an example (Brouwer Estudios Sencillos #6).


\version "2.12.2"

#(define RH rightHandFinger)

\relative c'' {
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
        \stemDown <c-\RH #1 >4 <c-\RH #2 > <c-\RH #3 > <c-\RH #4 >
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
        <c-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . -0.2)-\RH #1 > <c-\RH #2 > <c-\RH #3
> <c-\RH #4 >
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(down)
        \stemUp <c-\RH #1 > <c-\RH #2 > <c-\RH #3 > <c-\RH #4 >
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(down)
        <c-\RH #1 > <c-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . 0.3)-\RH #2 > <c-\RH #3
> <c-\RH #4 >
}
