     c4-1 d-2 f-4 c^\markup { \finger "2 - 3" }

You can use the thumb-script (e.g., in cello music)to indicate that a note should be played with the thumb.

     
     <a_\thumb a'-3>8 <b_\thumb b'-3>

Fingerings for chords can also be added to individual notes of the chord by adding them after the pitches.

     
     < c-1 e-2 g-3 b-5 >2 < d-1 f-2 a-3 c-5 >
