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 individual fingerings relative to slurs, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the fingerings whose position relative to slurs you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Slur-relative position in the Fingering and Positions group.
  3. 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. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

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 Engraving Options.
