Hi Olivier,

I'm not sure that it is a bug.

script-init.ly shows:
open = #(make-articulation "open")

So \open is an articulation (not a fingering).
I think a note can be articulated only once in the same manner, so I'd
_expect_ that one setting is skipped.

BTW, \open is printed different compared to fingerings. I'd prefer to use d8_0^0


Cheers,
