LilyPond comes with two different fingering engines. The simple one
handles fingerings above and below a note, similar to other
articulation like accents. The advanced one applies to chords and can
do handle more complex fingering layouts, including positioning to the
left and right of a note.

I guess that in most cases the simple engine suffices, no?
