Carl,
Perhaps we should add an example in Notation Reference where it talks
about "controlling the placement of chord fingerings" showing that even
for single notes you have to use a chord construct for the
fingeringOrientation to work. I didn't get to do this in fretted
strings because "fingering" was handled elsewhere in the documentation.

p.s. Steven, if you look at the documentation for 2.11 under "Specialist
Notation" then "Fretted Strings," you'll see an excerpt I engraved where
I make use of \set fingeringOrientations and the extra-offset technique
I mentioned in the last email. Just click on the musical example on
this page and it'll reveal the code:

Hi,
Using Lilipond 2.10.33 with jEdit 4.3pre15 on Windows XP SP2.
The \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left) is not working. Finger numbers continue to appear at the top or bottom of note stems.
I have the command positioned after the "staffClassicalGuitar = \new Staff" command and before any notes are entered. Does it matter where it is located? I want it to apply to the whole score.
I saw a link to http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Changing-context-default-settings.html#Changing-context-default-settings in the archives, but I'm not sure I'm interpreting it properly. I've tried positioning the command in the Score and Layout sections, but it still doesn't take effect.
