Hi,I just noticed that in the documentation about right-hand fingerings in the common notation for fretted strings: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#right_002dhand-fingerings the fifth finger isn't mentioned.
I also tried|\rightHandFinger #5| and an 'x' was printed. As I understand it 'x' is printed for all non supported numbers. But although perhaps not so common the fifth finger is used (with the letter 'c'):
1 = p = pulgar, 2 = i = índice, 3 = m = mayor, 4 = a = anular, 5 = c = chiquito
My hope in writing this is that this could be easily added to LilyPond. One can of course easily use markup instead, but I think it would be nice for the sake of completeness.
Best Peter
