Why do you think so?
Recently I've typeset a flamenco piece, where I rather wished my right hand 
fingerings (indicating strokes of one finger for the whole chord) would have 
been accepted by a chord in general.
Adding it to a specific note in the chord is ofcourse possible, but against the 
musical sense.
Instead I used TextScript for those indications, but TextScript doesn't support 
'add-stem-support, afaict. So the result is sub-optimal.
Admittedly this is about StrokeFingers, but there may be the case where you 
want to demonstrate alternative fingerings. Which is very conveniant using both 
fingerings to every note _and_ to the chord in general.
Maybe other use-cases are possible as well...

Additionally I made some experiments resetting Fingerings x-parent to the 
NoteColumn via ScriptColumn.
It slows down compilation (at least when integrating StringNumber and 
StrokeFinger). So it might not be the best approach. Nevertheless I'll post it 
below, so everyone can watch the results without recompiling the source.

Agreed.

Fingerings do not take accidentals into account, and fingerings align over the 
first note inout of a chord, rather than centering over the whole chord.
\version "2.17.96"

\{
  <e'' f'' cis'''>1 ^1^2^5
\}

From Keith Ohara:
"Unfortunately this is a different bug -- or two -- so it will 
not be fixed at the same time as collisions between Fingerings.

\(1\) LilyPond has never looked at Accidentals when placing Fingering;
until recently that caused only small overlaps with sharps because
the Fingering did not previously fit so close to the chord.

\(2\) Fingering on a chord as a whole should center over the main column
of note-heads; instead it centers over the first-input note.

So, you can do the same as we did when using version 2.12: rearrange
the order of pitches in the chord so a main-column note comes first.

\{ <f'' e'' cis'''>1 ^1^2^5 \}

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
From Janek :

This is similar to issues
[https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2245](#2245)
[https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2451](#2451)
[https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2452](#2452)

and i believe to solve it in a general way we would have to teach
lilypond about different kinds of extents - see:

[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-06/msg00230.html](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-06/msg00230.html)
[https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3239](#3239) \(sorry, that
issue got pretty messy\).

Currently the work i started on this is waiting until 2.18.0 is out...
 What about leaving it for now and attacking this together after 2.18?
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
Possibly a Known Issue in NR 1.7.1 would be in order.
