How about:

\version "2.19.81"

circledFingerStil =
  #(lambda (grob)
     (circle-stencil (ly:text-interface::print grob) 0.1 0.1))

\fixed c' {
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)

  <g-\tweak stencil \circledFingerStil -2
   b-\tweak stencil \circledFingerStil-3
   d'-4>1

  \override Fingering.stencil = \circledFingerStil
  <g-2 b-3 d'-4>1
}

There _is_ some buit-in code which avoids collisions of Fingering, but
 it does not work for StringNumbers or a mix of Fingerings and
StringNumbers, afaik.

Ciao Harm,

thanks a lot for your code! It works very well. 

But I also have some questions. 

The circled and uncircled fingering are not horizontally aligned. Is there any way to align them?

Is there any way to make the more easy to manage? I can write something like this

  <g-\tweak stencil \circledFingerStil -2
   b-\tweak stencil \circledFingerStil-3
   d'-4>1

just to test an idea but I don't want to use it in a real score. 

Is there any way to reduce/encapsulate it to something less intrusive?

Thank you!

G.
