Is this intended?Why wouldn't it be intended? You give LilyPond the choice of putting them right, and LilyPond avails itself of that option. If that is not what you want, remove the "right" and LilyPond will put the fingerings left.
Would you mind giving us a link, or better, an image?
So right AND left side is not possible, if I understand you correctly.
The question is whether it’s _sensible_. There are many things out there which LilyPond doesn’t (easily) allow to do, in order to stay within the bounds of good typography and legibility. What do you mean by right /and/ left side? I assume it’s not about printing the fingerings twice. Placing fingerings both on the right and left sides of chords is not advisable, because it will be difficult to discern which fingering belongs to which chord (except in very loose spacing). So I think you should take the liberty to deviate from your model.
Best, Simon
