I'm certain that it _can_ be done, but I don't know of any easy way. 
Here's one way of fudging it, though:

\score{\notes{
a4^"2" b4^"-2"
}}

(you might want to try something like b4^"---2" instead)

BTW, you can also represent fingerings using ^N and _N.  I find this
occasionally useful for showing alternate fingerings.
