JM, You can just use ^ to put the fingering above or _ to put it below. If the voice will always be the lower voice (as in your left-hand piano example) this works well. BUT it doesn't allow you to choose the orientation (top or bottom) after inputting the notes. Note that using - (as in your example) allows LilyPond to put the fingering wherever it likes.
