Re: Fingering between notehead and beam?

[Jonathan Kulp]

I think this might be close to what you're looking for.  I've been 
tinkering and finally hit upon a way to get both the staff padding and 
the \set orientation to work.  You have to put the note inside a chord 
construct.  Be sure to put the rhythm indication *outside* the <> 
though, or else you get errors.

\relative c'' {
   \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
   \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
  <c-1>8 <d-3> <e-0> <fis-2>
}

Crossing fingers!
