Comment #2 on issue 1863 by [email protected]: Explicit fingering direction (^3)
has no effect if Fingering#'direction is set
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1863
It is also worthwhile to note (see added regtest) that the
New_fingering_engraver (called upon for fingerings inside of a chord)
apparently never heeds the Fingering.direction context setting but instead
places its fingering, short of an explicit event direction, closest to the
note head.
