Yep.
My use of define-scheme-function within fingerChart doesn't work with
2.16.2 this way.

Try to replace it with:

fingerChart =
#(define-event-function (parser location arg)(string?)
#{
      \tweak #'text
    \markup
       \override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
       \finger
       \center-column {
        $(string-split arg #\+)
       }
    -""
#})

Btw, your approach seems to be inspired by
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-wind-instruments#fingerings
Seems we have no woodwind-diagram for French Horn
