Thanks Jan, this works indeed but it is not very practical when nearly
every note has fingering indications for both hands :-) This is the case
when you write complex pieces for the guitar or want to help students.

Would it be possible to have it interfaced in the same way as "^" or "_"? 
One could use for instance use the "=" character to indicate that the
following string should be at the same height as the note head. With a
\property statement one could then choose if it should be before or after
the note head.

I hope this is not an isolated request. I guess that most instruments
which require fingering instructions for both hands will need this. It
becomes also unavoidable when you want to write these instructions on the
notes making up a chord.

        Thank you very much

                Jan
