I'd have to add the fundamental as some staff property or whatever - 
just like you specify "\transpose" I'd specify the fundamental there.

So's I would just modify the notehead engraver or similar, and it would 
say "if the note is x semitones above the fundamental, then the 
fingering is y".

I don't know whether I'd be better off hard-coding the entire range of 
notes - about three octaves or more - or specifying all the open notes 
then specifying the fingering from the open note above.
