Hi,
from my privileged position of newbie ;-)
I have a suggestion for a very tiny edit in the Notation Reference
which might ease the understanding for new users.
This is the page (section Selected Snippets):
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Inside-the-staff#Fingering-instructions
What is missing there, IMHO, is a clear statement like "left-hand
fingerings must be entered within a chord construct <> (i.e.: even
single notes must be enclosed by < >)".
There is a similar sentence in the right-hand fingering chapter:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-fretted-strings#Right_002dhand-fingerings
So why don't you add in the left-hand as well?
I've lost hours trying to figure out why left orientation worked just
for chords and not for single notes.
That sentence would have saved me a lot of time and frustration.
Best regards,
Federico
