When writing the fingering for guitar, there is a notation used to indicate a
guide finger in left-hand shifting. The fingering mark looks like "-3", but the
"-" is rotated up about 30 degrees, which means to silently slide the 3rd
finger from its previous position to this marked note on the same string. (Just
in case someone doesn't know. ;-) So I want to write something like:
c-{-3} or c-"-3"
The first doesn't work and the latter puts the "-3" below the note. Is there a
mechanism to accomplish this? Again, I have scanned all the documentation and
not found an example, but I could have missed it.
This fingering indication is very common in classical guitar music. I see it all the time but haven't tried to do it in Lilypond before tonight. Peter, your objections to my initial approach make perfect sense, I just don't know how to work around them. :)
