Stupid question: since I can see no use for following a fingering with a
digit, why don't we just change the parser appropriately?  _If_ there is
some use for numbers greater than 10 (apart from the current situation,
button accordion fingerings may need to be underlined in order to
indicate helper rows, and one could likely just put something in the
engraver which does this for numbers greater 10, deducting 10 in the
process), rather than making yet-another-LSR-snippet, we could just
allow larger numbers.

Any reason not to?
