Changing the notehead-relative position of string indicators

By default, string indicators inside the staff appear to the left of noteheads when there are no left-hand fingerings and to the right of noteheads when there are left-hand fingerings. You can change the position of string indicators inside the staff relative to noteheads, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

1. Select the string indicators inside the staff whose notehead-relative position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Notehead-relative pos. in the String Indicators group.
3. Choose one of the following options:

   • Left

   • Right

Result

The notehead-relative position of the selected string indicators is changed.

Tip

You can change the default notehead-relative positions of all string indicators inside the staff project-wide on the String Indicators page in Engrave > Engraving Options. The available options include automatically changing the notehead-relative position if left-hand fingerings are present.
