Explicit fingering direction (^3) has no effect if Fingering #'direction is set

[Reinhold Kainhofer]

If the Fingering grob has an explicit direction set, it is NOT possible to 
override it with an explicit direction in the input:

    \override Fingering #'direction = #DOWN
    c'4-3 c'4^3 c'4_3 c'4-3 |

In this example, all fingerings will be below the staff, but the second one 
should still be above, since ^ is explicitly given. Full example is attached.

The only way to override is with an explicit 
    \once\override Fingering #'direction = #UP

Cheers,
Reinhold

PS: For other grobs, like DynamicText or DynamicLineSpanner an explicit 
direction (^ or _) overrides the Grob's direction.
