It's quite easy.  Just use "R", "b3", and "b7" for the fingering in the
verbose syntax.

And if you want to used a lilypond flat symbol, you can do that as well.
You'll need to make the fingering a lilypond markup.

I guess we need to add something to the documentation indicating that the
fingering in the verbose syntax can be a number, a string, or a lilypond
markup.

HTH,
