Hi Mia,

You should be able to use either the _ or ^ prefix to request that a 
specific fingering go below or above rather than rely on the default 
behavior.  You can also change the fingeringOrientations to exclusively 
prefer a direction by default.

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{ <g'^1 b'^3 d''^5>4 % g's fingering would prefer to be below
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up) <g'-1 b'-3 d''-5>4 }
%%%%
