Hiding/Showing string fingering shift indicators

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.

1. Select the notes on string instrument staves from which you want to indicate a fingering shift.
2. 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, even if neither of the notes at each end have explicit fingerings, and hidden when the property is deactivated. They are positioned between the selected notes and the notes that immediately follow them.
