Project-wide engraving options for fingerings

You can find options for the project-wide appearance and position of fingerings on the Fingering page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Fingering page allow you to change the font, size, appearance, placement, and precise position of fingerings on standard notes and grace notes, including fine adjustments for the different instrument groups. You can also change the position of fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, and tuplets.

There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.

You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.

  • Choose Engrave > Engraving Options in Engrave mode.

You can then click Fingering in the page list on the left of the dialog.
