padding

[Julian Vincent]

Using Lilypad v. 2.10.29, I have some notes (d above the treble  
stave) which have fingerings above them, and the ottavo instruction  
as well.  Fingerings and ottavo are competing for the same space.   
How can I separate them?  I can't see a suitable \set instruction,  
and I can't see how to turn off the command which positions fingering  
numbers to one side of the note.  Also, I need to indicate that a  
number of notes need to be played on a particular string.  How can I  
extend the string-number symbol to indicate more than one note.  The  
other thing which is driving me potty (though trial and error solve  
it) is the positioning of the notes using ' and , and how long each  
instruction lasts.  I think I'm getting the hang of it . . .
I'd be grateful for some help . . .
