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.
Fingerings for fretted instruments
Fretted instruments, such as the classical guitar, require additional fingering instructions for both hands due to the complex nature of the music.
Changing the position of left-hand fingerings
You can change the position of individual left-hand fingerings. By default, they are positioned inside the staff and to the left of the notes to which they apply.
