Re: Can't find right hand fingering without string #'s

[Sam Frybyte]

Thank you both- turns out that for a (annular or ring finger) the only thing that works is c-"a" the other two don't work.

As for the 'incomprehensible' thank you Patrick for pointing out the missing backslash still wouldn't have worked but somehow in the copy/paste into the email it 'got lost'.

Thanks again- however I still couldn't find this in the docs.....where is it now because it didn't seem to be in the guitar fingering section.

This sentence is utterly incomprehensible, and it is not clear what the
code fragment is supposed to be about or for or what it is supposed to
demonstrate.  It does not appear to constitute code that would have
worked in any context in any version of LilyPond.

Jay is referring to the examples here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#right_002dhand-fingerings.  Looks like he just forgot to place a backslash in front of RH.
