Showing ngerings inside the staff
You can show individual ngerings belonging to non-fretted instruments beside noteheads
inside the staff.
NOTE
● These steps only apply to non-fretted instruments. Left-hand ngerings for fretted
instruments are shown inside the staff by default.
● These steps do not apply to substitution ngerings.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select the notes whose ngerings you want to show inside the staff.
2.
In the Properties panel, activate Inside staff in the Fingering and Positions group.
RESULT
Fingerings belonging to the selected notes are shown inside the staff, directly beside the
noteheads. By default, if they belong to a note on a staff line, they erase part of the staff line to
ensure legibility.
EXAMPLE
Hiding/Showing ngering
You can hide/show ngering in each layout independently. For example, you can show ngering
in part layouts but hide ngering in full score layouts as conductors rarely require ngering
information.
PROCEDURE
1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to hide/show ngering.
By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog.
You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, Shift -clicking
adjacent layouts, and
Ctrl/Cmd -clicking individual layouts.
3.
Click Players in the category list.
4.
In the Fingering section, activate/deactivate Show ngering.
5.
Click Apply, then Close.
RESULT
All ngerings are shown in the selected layouts when the checkbox is activated, and hidden when
the checkbox is deactivated.
