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.
Moving fingerings graphically
You can move fingerings graphically, independently of the noteheads to which they apply.
Changing the position of individual fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, and tuplet brackets
By default, fingerings are positioned inside the arcs of slurs, but outside the start/end of slurs. You can change the position of fingerings relative to individual slurs, independently of your project-wide settings.

Changing the position of individual fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, and tuplet brackets

By default, fingerings are positioned inside the arcs of slurs, but outside the start/end of slurs. You can change the position of fingerings relative to individual slurs, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

In Engrave mode, select the fingerings whose position relative to slurs you want to change.
In the Properties panel, activate Slur-relative position in the Fingering and Positions group.
Choose one of the following options:
- Inside
- Outside

Result

The position of the selected fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, and tuplet brackets is changed.

Note

If fingerings also coincide with the first note or last note of slurs, fingerings are positioned outside all of these notations.
You can change the position of all fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, and tuplet brackets project-wide on the Fingering page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
