Fingering
Fingerings can be added to music to recommend which fingers players should use for notes. This can be useful for music aimed at players learning the instrument and for difficult musical passages where certain fingering patterns make the notes much easier to play.
Fingering font styles
Different types of fingerings use different fonts. You can change different aspects of the font styles used for fingering in the Edit Font Styles dialog.
Editing the fingering font styles
You can edit the formatting of the font styles used for all fingerings and open string indicators that appear as zero fingerings project-wide, for example, if you want them to appear larger by default. However, you must choose a SMuFL-compliant font for the Fingering Font and Fingering Horn Branch Accidental Font font styles.
