\version "2.8.4"
mac 10.3.9
I see in the archives that there has been a lot of discussion about the
placement of fingerings. But I didn't see a solution for what I am
trying to do. I was wondering if anyone had found a solution.
I need to put the fingerings for all notes of the chord, above the
staff, and inside the slur, stacked in a neat row. The problem, as is
documented in the archives, is that, when a slur is involved, LP puts
one or both of the fingerings way up. And the numbers can be quite far
from one another, instead of stacked in a row like I need them.
In trying to move the placement with something like
\once \override Fingering #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . -5.5)
or
\once \override Voice.Fingering #'padding =#3
the fingerings of the chord move together instead of separately,
exasperating the problem. There does not seem to be a way of adjusting
them individually. The wide distance between the numbers remains.
Padding will not accept a negative number, which is what I would need.
When fingerings are added below the note, padding still increases the
distance from the notehead. There doesn't seem to be a way of
decreasing the distance.
I tried using \markup, but without success. There is reference in the
archives to \rows, though no reference in the manual. That might solve
my problem. But I couldn't find a syntax that worked.
The only other solution I can think of is to enter fingerings as
Lyrics, entered as verses so I get rows, change the font, and put the
lyrics above the staff. But if I'm not mistaken, this will also put the
fingerings outside the slurs instead of inside.
So, I was hoping someone had a solution to offer.
In case it matters, this is a piano method book written by someone else
that I might be asked to typeset. So fingering placement would be
vital.
Thanks,
Michael
