Excellent, thank you. Your suggested \markup syntax got me close enough for a
final fingering tweak, as follows:
d4^\markup{\finger " 1 x2"} e fis-4 g-0 etc.
I suspected separate score blocks might be the best way out. Off to try that
next!

Dear Matt,
This snippet should answer both of your questions, let me know if you have any
other questions about this.
Depending on exactly what you were intending to do, you may want to consider
putting each exercise in a separate score block, like shown in the example.
This avoids all problems with setting new time signatures showing on the
previous lines, and will show you the time signature at the beginning of the
line even if it is the same. The second score block shows how you can disable
the time signature showing at the end of the line if you change it on the next
system. The first score block shows you how you can type any text in the font
style used for fingering indications.
Thanks,
-will

I am writing a scale page for my cello students. Since each line is a new
scale, each line has a new key signature.
Two basic questions:
How do I keep the new key signature from also appearing at the end of the
previous line?
Also, how can I write { 1 x 2 4 } in the fingering font, adding an "x" between
the notes to signify the extension between "1" and "2"?
I am using version 22.2.2.
Thank you all,
Matt
