The only fingering notations I can think of that might be special to strings would be:
the thumb notation; fingered harmonics; and string or position indications. Fingered harmonics are probably a simple combination of note head and fingering (it's actually in the current 2.6.1.1.). String or position indications are markups. The thumb notation, however, seems clearly to be a fingering indication specific to strings. It also seems to me that the fingered harmonics, string or position indications, and probably multiple fingering possibilities should be in the LSR and maybe should be referenced under strings in NR 2.

Nope. Granted, I cheated a bit by including \thumb in 1.7.1, but I don't think there's anything else. I suppose you *could* argue that parts for very inexperienced string players could benefit from a \textSpanner that says "II" (ie a hand position). However, that kind of thing is IMO best covered with snippets anyway. I would expect (and hope!) that the snippet lists for NR 2 sections would be quite long.
