Inputting ngerings
You can input ngerings on existing notes using the ngerings popover.
Fingerings are associated with individual noteheads and so you can only add ngerings to
existing noteheads. Therefore, you cannot input ngerings during step input, and the popover
does not advance automatically.
NOTE
● You can only add ngerings to notes at one rhythmic position at a time, and you can only
input the same number of ngerings as there are notes at each rhythmic position. For
example, you can input three ngerings at the rhythmic position of a chord containing
three notes, but only one ngering at the rhythmic position of a single note.
● Although they contain two numbers, substitution ngerings are considered one ngering,
meaning you can add substitution ngerings to single notes.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the notes to which you want to add ngering.
If you want to add ngerings to all notes in a chord, select all the notes in the chord.
