Re: fingerHorizontalDirection Bug?

[José Luis Cruz]

I use sometimes:

\property Voice.fingeringOrientations = #'(down, left, etc)

and another times: 

\property Voice.Fingering \set #'direction = #-1


I just don't remember which one is for what exactly, play with them, and keep 
searching :)

Oh, I'm not a developer. If it doesn't help you, i can't go further on this.


regards,
José Luis
