Fingering instructions can be entered using
note-digitFor finger changes, use markup texts:
c'4-1 c'4-2 c'4-3 c'4-4 c'^\markup { \fontsize #-3 \number "2-3" }
You can use the thumb-script to indicate that a note should be played with your thumb (used in cello music):
<a' a''-3>8(_\thumb <b' b''-3>)_\thumb <c'' c'''-3>(_\thumb <d'' d'''-3>)_\thumb
Fingerings for chords can also be added to individual notes of the chord by adding them after the pitches:
< c-1 e-2 g-3 b-5 > 4
Setting fingeringOrientations
will put fingerings next
to note heads:
\property Voice.fingeringOrientations = #'(left down) <c-1 es-2 g-4 bes-5 > 4 \property Voice.fingeringOrientations = #'(up right down) <c-1 es-2 g-4 bes-5 > 4
