gives right-orientated fingerings.
Is this intended?
Why wouldn't it be intended? You give LilyPond the choice of putting
them right, and LilyPond avails itself of that option. If that is not
what you want, remove the "right" and LilyPond will put the fingerings
left.
I'd like to reproduce an example from Napoleon Coste, Méthode complète
pour la Guitare... (No. 28 of "31 LEÇONS ET EXERCICES", last but one
chord).
Would you mind giving us a link, or better, an image?
So right AND left side is not possible, if I understand you correctly.
The question is whether it’s _sensible_. There are many things out there
which LilyPond doesn’t (easily) allow to do, in order to stay within the
bounds of good typography and legibility.
What do you mean by right /and/ left side? I assume it’s not about
printing the fingerings twice. Placing fingerings both on the right and
left sides of chords is not advisable, because it will be difficult to
discern which fingering belongs to which chord (except in very loose
spacing). So I think you should take the liberty to deviate from your model.
Best, Simon
