Fingerings popover
The following tables contain examples of what you can enter into the ngerings popover to input
the different types of
ngerings available. The ngerings popover behaves differently for fretted
instruments compared to other instruments, so there is a separate table for fretted instrument
ngerings.
You can open the ngerings popover in Write mode in any of the following ways when either a
note is selected or the caret is active:
● Press Shift-F .
● Choose Write > Create Fingerings.
●
Click Fingerings in the Notations toolbox.
When inputting ngerings for non-fretted instruments, the icon on the left-hand side of the
popover matches the corresponding button in the Notations toolbox. When inputting ngerings
for fretted instruments, the icon on the left-hand side of the popover indicates whether you are
inputting left-hand or right-hand
ngerings.
