That causes my LilyPond to complain with this error:

    $ lilypond Hayate.ly
    GNU LilyPond 2.12.3
    Processing `Hayate.ly'
    Parsing...
    Hayate.ly:12:31: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
    L=-\tweak #'Fingering #'text "L
                                   "-1
    Hayate.ly:13:31: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
    R=-\tweak #'Fingering #'text "R
                                   "-1

This works reasonably well, but it also greatly increases the space
between systems. Why would that be?
