For pedagogical purposes, ¿wouldn't it be better if the timing was shown in
a different font than the font used for fingerings?

Such as:

%%
\version "2.10.0"
\score {
 \context Staff = guitar {
   \key c \major \time 6/8
   \relative c'' {
     <<
   {
     e8 e e f f f
   } \\
   {
     s8_\markup{\italic{1}}
     s8_\markup{\italic{2}}
     s8_\markup{\italic{3}}
     s8_\markup{\italic{4}}
     s8_\markup{\italic{5}}
     s8_\markup{\italic{6}}
   }
     >>
   }
 }
}
%%

I think this is referring to people with 6-fingers.  Typing e8_1 means
"first finger"; typing e8_"1" prints "1" as a TextScript.

Yes, but somebody was feeling creative when they wrote that code.  :)
What message do you propose to change it with?
