Okay, but even with the names different (I've chosen ‘LH’ and ‘RH’),
LilyPond doesn't like it:
$ lilypond Hayate.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.12.3
Processing `Hayate.ly'
Parsing...
Hayate.ly:12:34: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
RH = -\tweak #'Fingering #'text "R
"-1
Hayate.ly:13:34: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
LH = -\tweak #'Fingering #'text "L
"-2
Hayate.ly:31:26: error: unknown escaped string: `\RH'
\repeat unfold 4 { c8.
\RH c16\LH }
Hayate.ly:31:26: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
\repeat unfold 4 { c8.
\RH c16\LH }
[… hundreds more errors as the notation is used throughout …]
