Thanks. That gets the result I wanted.

Hi Nick,

I saw that someone else answered the second question about the 
b-naturals (just be sure to remove the ! from both voices).

Here's a quick fix for the right-hand fingering that will work for this 
example, but it's kind of crude and not overly flexible.  To position 
individual fingerings in a score you'll need to use something like 
\tweak or \once \override with extra-offset instead of an \override 
StrokeFinger staff padding like I did here.  I always use \tweak and 
extra-offset adjustments for very precise placement of fingerings.

I don't know of a way to use the set fingeringorientations without a <> 
chord construct.  It's a pain but it works very well.

Here's the relevant snippet of code that puts the r.h.fingerings above 
the beam.  You can adjust the value to suit your preference:

% Treble voice
#(define RH rightHandFinger)
up = \relative c' {
        \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
        \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
        \override StrokeFinger #'staff-padding = #'4.4  % HERE IT IS
        \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
        \times 4/6 {
                \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
                <c-1-\RH #1 >16 <g'-0-\RH #2 >
                <aes'-4-\RH #4 >-> <ees-3-\RH #3 >
                <g-2-\RH #4 >-> <g,-0-\RH #2 >    c, g' aes'-> ees g-> g, |
% 1
                <b,!-1> <g'-0> <aes'-4>-> <d,-3> <g-2>-> <g,-0>    b, g'
aes'-> d, 
g-> g, |                % 2
                <d-0> <g-0> <g'-3>-> <b,!-0> <f'-1>-> <g,-0>    d g g'-> b,
f'-> 
g, |                    % 3
        }
}
