Please send usage questions like this to address@hidden and
save this mailing list for actual bug reports. All the mailing
lists and links to the archives are available at www.lilypond.org
if you click on "About".

Also, always tell which version of LilyPond you use, otherwise you
might get an answer that's irrelevant for your version.

That's not supported for the moment. In LilyPond up to version 2.2.6,
you could do it with inline LaTeX code, something like
c4^"$\underline{3}$"

fingeringOrientations is only relevant when you have a chord.
To set the direction of all fingerings below the stave, use
\override Fingering #'orientation = #down
or simply use
c_3
instead of
c-3
to force a single fingering below the note. Similarly,
c^3
gives a fingering above the note.
