Hiding/Showing brackets for right-hand fingerings

When multiple notes in the same chord are plucked by the same right-hand finger, you can show the same fingering multiple times, once for each note, or show a single fingering for all notes with a bracket spanning the notes plucked by that finger. When showing a separate fingering for each note, you can also choose to place each fingering either above or below the staff.

Note

These steps only apply to right-hand fingerings belonging to fretted instruments.

Prerequisite

You have input the fingerings for which you want to hide/show brackets or whose vertical position you want to change.

Procedure

  1. Select all the notes for which you want to hide/show brackets for right-hand fingerings.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Vertical position in the Plucked Fingering group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

    • To hide brackets and show a separate fingering for each selected note, select Above staff or Below staff.

    • To show brackets and a single fingering for all notes in each bracket, select Next to note.

Result

Brackets on the selected right-hand fingerings are hidden/shown. If you selected Above staff or Below staff, their staff-relative placement is changed accordingly.
