You can rotate objects and markups. I've done a little experiment here that
doesn't look very good yet but may put you on the right track. Search the
Notation Reference manual for rotation, formatting text, positioning
objects, and the like.
\version "2.13.4"
\relative c'' {
c-1 d^\markup { \center-align { \rotate #30 "-" \finger "1" }}
}
