Re: fingering orientation

[Mats Bengtsson]

This issue was mentioned on the mailing list as late as a few days ago.
As is described in the documentation (at least the 2.11 version), 
specifying fingeringOrientations only works for fingerings that are
attached to chords. If you want it for a single note, you have to make 
it a single note chord, i.e. use <c>-4
instead of c-4
