Re: How to implement a "5-3" fingering (Piano) (LP 2.22)

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Ken, hello David,

the way given in the documentation is not particularly good, as this won't 
produce a Fingering grob but a TextScript grob, which cannot be positioned the 
same way.

Much better would be to use

e-\finger "5-3"
or
e-\finger\markup\tied-lyric "5~3"
or something.

Cheers,
Valentin
