I am trying to typeset some early 18th century French music for viola da gamba. The standard notation, which I would like to keep, is that the string is indicated by a row of dots above the finger number. That is, for example, a 4 with three dots over it (generally in a slight arc, rather than in a straight line), indicates using the fourth finger on the third string.
Can this be achieved in Lilypond? I can't find any references in the manual, but maybe I haven't looked hard enough...
Thank you very much,
