Re: Red dot before all notes

[Jean Abou Samra]

Hi,

One thing you may not be aware of is that when you reply
to an existing thread, the reply appears in the same thread
for others, even if you change the title. I saw your message
under "Box around MeasureCounter". It is better to start
a new topic instead.

This works for me:

\version "2.22.1"

{
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <c'\finger  \markup \with-color "#FF0000" ".">
}

Perhaps you forgot the chord <>? It is necessary to be
able to use fingeringOrientations (see
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/inside-the-staff#fingering-instructions).

I'd adjust the formatting a bit and use a real dot sign:

\version "2.22.1"

{
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <c'\finger  \markup \with-color "#FF0000" \fontsize #5 \musicglyph 
"dots.dot">
}

Best,
Jean
