Re: Function to add a "-" before finger number

[James Bailey]

Is that them em or en dash? On a macintosh, I would just type them directly, 
either – or —, if you absolutely have to use the unicode, I would do it:

\version "2.12.3"

shiftTwo=\markup \finger "–2"
shiftThree = \markup \concat {\char ##x2012 3} 

{ a4-\shiftTwo g-\shiftThree}
