Hiding/Showing fingering shifts for string instruments
An angled line can be used to indicate the direction of movement when string players must shift their finger position on the fingerboard to play a higher/lower note with the same finger as the previous note.

Shift indicators are shown whether the notes at each end have explicit fingerings or not.
Procedure

- In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Indicate shift to next note in the Fingering and Positions group.
Result
Shift indicators are shown when the property is activated, and hidden when the property is deactivated.
Shift indicators are positioned between the selected notes and the notes that immediately follow them.
Tip
