These are attached to notes using
NotesRests->Markings->Strings->Fingerings  menu

How did I know that? In View->Command Center I started to type
"fingering" and it soon stopped on a suitable command...

yes, they are all possible. There are some commands for adjust positions
too within Denemo, but I suspect that you would want to do anything like
that in the LilyPond. You can add LilyPond syntax (with Insert LilyPond
commands) in the Denemo main window, or in the LilyPond window.
