Changing the appearance of cautionary fingerings

You can change the appearance of cautionary fingerings individually and independently of your project-wide setting, for example, if you want particular fingerings to appear without parentheses or to hide specific cautionary fingerings.

Note

These steps only apply to fingerings input as cautionary fingerings.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the noteheads whose cautionary fingering appearance you want to change.
    Note

    You must select the specific noteheads to which the cautionary fingerings apply, not the fingerings themselves.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Cautionary in the Fingering and Positions group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

    • Default

    • With parentheses

    • Without parentheses

    • Suppress

Result

The appearance of cautionary fingerings on the selected notes is changed.

Tip

You can change the default appearance of all cautionary fingerings project-wide in the Alternative, Editorial and Cautionary section of the Fingering page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
