Hello frogs (although I am French, I won't eat you) !
First of all, a huge thanks to the team for allowing us to freely use the
overall best music engraving software :p
I would like to report a tiny weakness I noticed.
It seems to me that LilyPond's standard fingerings for organ pedalboard are
incorrect.
Instead of this :
{ \clef F a4\ltoe a\lheel a\rtoe a\rheel }
We should have this:
{ \clef F a4_\rtoe a\lheel a\rtoe a^\lheel }
These fingerings are schematic representation of a foot. That's why they
shouldn't be directed according to their position (above or below the
staff). Fixed and opposite directions can also avoid any mistake when
reading quickly handwritten fingerings.
Especially since most publishers, I think, uses this behavior.
On the web I only found these examples, but I can assure you I saw this
notation in many other scores :

I made a patch that removes the 2 useless definitions in
mf/feta-scripts.mfand update
scm/script.scm.

Bertrand Bordage.
