Subject: Changing fingers while holding key down

Hi everyone,

In piano music, there's a technique for holding down a key with one finger, 
then switching to another.  I know how this looks in music notation (see 
attached) but I don't know how to engrave it with LilyPond.  I've searched the 
docs, the LSR, and the internet for the answer, but I don't know any technical 
term for this (is there one?) so the results were less than helpful.

How is this done in LilyPond?  I'm assuming one uses markup with \finger, but I 
can't find a way to make the "slur" on top of the numbers.  (I've seen this 
notated with the slur under the numbers
too.)
