Hi Nick,

I saw that someone else answered the second question about the b-naturals (just be sure to remove the ! from both voices).

Here's a quick fix for the right-hand fingering that will work for this example, but it's kind of crude and not overly flexible. To position individual fingerings in a score you'll need to use something like \tweak or \once \override with extra-offset instead of an \override StrokeFinger staff padding like I did here. I always use \tweak and extra-offset adjustments for very precise placement of fingerings.

I don't know of a way to use the set fingeringorientations without a <> chord construct. It's a pain but it works very well.

Here's the relevant snippet of code that puts the r.h.fingerings above the beam. You can adjust the value to suit your preference:

% Treble voice
#(define RH rightHandFinger)
up = \relative c' {
        \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
        \override StrokeFinger #'staff-padding = #'4.4  % HERE IT IS
        \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
        \times 4/6 {
                \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
                <c-1-\RH #1 >16 <g'-0-\RH #2 >
                <aes'-4-\RH #4 >-> <ees-3-\RH #3 >
                <g-2-\RH #4 >-> <g,-0-\RH #2 >    c, g' aes'-> ees g-> g, |     
           % 1
<b,!-1> <g'-0> <aes'-4>-> <d,-3> <g-2>-> <g,-0> b, g' aes'-> d, g-> g, | % 2 <d-0> <g-0> <g'-3>-> <b,!-0> <f'-1>-> <g,-0> d g g'-> b, f'-> g, | % 3
        }
}

I have the following code (it's the first couple of measures of Barrios'
prelude in C minor). Firstly, with the RH fingering, some of the indications
appear above the beam and some below, depending on where on the stave each
note is located. How can I get them to all be above the beam? Secondly, with
the LH fingering, I can only get the orientation to the left of the notehead
to stick by enclosing every note with a fingering indication inside chord
symbols, otherwise the fingering appears above the stems. How do I get the
fingering orientation to default to being to the left of the notehead for
notes that are not chorded?

Also, Lilypond puts a natural symbol against both b naturals in bar 2, when
only the first symbol is required.

\version "2.11.58"
% Treble voice
#(define RH rightHandFinger)
up = \relative c' {
        \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
        \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
        \times 4/6 {
                \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
                <c-1-\RH #1 >16 <g'-0-\RH #2 > <aes'-4-\RH #4 >-> <ees-3-\RH

                <b,!-1> <g'-0> <aes'-4>-> <d,-3> <g-2>-> <g,-0>    b,! g'
aes'-> d, g-> g, |
        }
}

% Bass voice
down = \relative c' {
        c4 c |          % 1
        b! b! |         % 2
}

\score {
        {
                \clef treble
                \key c \minor
                \time 2/4
                \tempo "Moderato"
                \override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed =
##t
                \context Staff << \new Voice { \voiceOne \up }
                        \new Voice { \voiceTwo \down } >>
        }
        \layout { }
        \midi { }
}
