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.

Would it be reasonable and feasible to apply such fingering orientation at the voice level? Thanks for your help! JM
