Yes, it does.  And since the Fingering_engraver no longer listens to
fingering events, the rhythmic-event-iterator does not remove it from
the note any more for broadcasting, and the New_fingering_engraver
pitches in.

You'll see by the placement algorithm (that of New_fingering_engraver is
more focused on the notehead than the Fingering_engraver) that
Fingering_engraver has had a replacement with a different style working.

Remove the Fingering_engraver, _and_ add a dummy engraver listening to
fingering events and ignoring them.  Then New_fingering_engraver will
not feel compelled taking over.
