Re: how to move TextScript closer to the staff?

Because LilyPond does not handle fingaring notation well, I wrote markup command:

\version "2.17.96"

#(define-markup-command
  (fingerMod layout props arg)
  (markup-list?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
    (markup
      (#:left-align
        (#:override
          '(baseline-skip . 1.5)
          (#:finger
            (make-center-column-markup arg)))))))

{
  <fis' b' d'>4 ^\markup \fingerMod { 1 3 5 } c'2.
}

The drawback is that the numerals are not centered on notehead.

Now, take a look at the example. My question is: how can I improve the code to have this TextScript (numerals) closer to the staff?

What about this?

 \version "2.17.96"

#(define-markup-command

  (fingerMod layout props arg)

  (markup-list?)

  (interpret-markup layout props

    (markup

      (#:left-align

        (#:override

          '(baseline-skip . 1.5)

          (#:finger

            (make-center-column-markup arg)))))))

{

  \once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)

  <fis' b' d'>4 ^\markup \fingerMod { 1 3 5 } c'2.

}
