When writing the fingering for guitar, there is a notation used to indicate a
guide finger in left-hand shifting. The fingering mark looks like "-3", but the
"-" is rotated up about 30 degrees, which means to silently slide the 3rd
finger from its previous position to this marked note on the same string. (Just
in case someone doesn't know. ;-) So I want to write something like:
c-{-3} or c-"-3"
The first doesn't work and the latter puts the "-3" below the note. Is there a
mechanism to accomplish this? Again, I have scanned all the documentation and
not found an example, but I could have missed it.
You can rotate objects and markups. I've done a little experiment here that doesn't look very good yet but may put you on the right track. Search the Notation Reference manual for rotation, formatting text, positioning objects, and the like.
\version "2.13.4"
\relative c'' {
c-1 d^\markup { \center-align { \rotate #30 "-" \finger "1" }}
}
