I think this would be a great idea.

Add a parameter to the engraver:
autoFingerEngraver=
#(lambda (instrument)
(lambda (context)
(make-engraver
(acknowledgers
((note-column-interface trans grob source)
(let* ((cause (event-cause grob))
(p (get-fingering (ly:pitch-semitones
(ly:event-property cause 'pitch)))))
(if (not (null? p))
(ly:grob-set-property! (ly:engraver-make-grob trans
'TextScript cause) 'text
#{ \markup \woodwind-diagram #instrument #p #}))))))))
Then you would call it later like this:
\consists #(autoFingerEngraver 'recorder)

No, unfortunately not. You can find some material on C++ engravers in the
Contributor's Guide, but nothing on Scheme engravers. There are a few in
the LSR, and they surface from time to time on the lists.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to help at the moment. Your
recorder diagrams are still in review, and I find it very difficult to work
with your file in LilyDev. I'll be happy to take another look when your
patch is part of a release.

I used a Scheme engraver because it gives easy access to context
properties, and it's straightforward to create new grobs.
Possibly you could do this through a music function. See the thread on
"Handling automatic ottavas" for an example of something similar.
I have to say that, given a choice, I'd rather use an engraver given the
complexity of fiddling around with music lists. :)

Well, you could override NoteColumn.stencil. Here's a short example:
\version "2.19.15"
#(define (notehead-stencil grob)
(ly:stencil-aligned-to
(ly:stencil-translate-axis
(grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup "foo" #})
3 Y)
X CENTER))
{
\override NoteColumn.stencil = #notehead-stencil
<c'' e''> <c' e'> <c''' e'''>
}
The example shows the big limitation here, which is that no notice at all
is taken of collisions.
I'll take a better look later, but I hope this is helpful.
