RE: Fingering orientation question

Jacques,

You do not need to use chord notation and the \set command.
Fingering down indicated by the _ (underscore), e.g., a,4_3, and the up 
fingering by the ^ (carat), e.g., e^1
The - (dash) is a neutral setting and Lilypond decides according to voice 
number.

Subject: Fingering orientation question

Hello folks,

In the attached score, I’ve had to create artificial one-note chords such as 
<a,-3> for the down fingering orientation to be taken into account:

  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)

  <a,-3>4 <e-1> a, e | % 2

I didn’t find other ways to achieve this result in the docs.

Would it be reasonable and feasible to apply such fingering orientation at the 
voice level?

Thanks for your help!

JM
