Changing the font used for fingerings project-wide

By default, fingerings are drawn in a bold, Arabic font that is similar in appearance to the digits in time signatures. You can change the font used for all fingerings project-wide, which affects the appearance of fingering numbers, parentheses, and brackets.

Note

The font used for thumb indicator, substitution lines and slurs, and brass valve separators is not changed.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. Click Fingering in the page list.
  3. In the Design section, choose one of the following options for Fingering appearance:
    • Bold font

    • Plain font

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The font style used for fingerings project-wide is changed.

Tip

You can edit different aspects of the font style used in the Edit Font Styles dialog. Bold fingerings use Fingering Font. Plain fingerings use Fingering Text Font.
