Hello everyone! Is it possible to place accents above fingerings without too much fiddling? Very useful for drummers :wink:

You could create a playing technique of glyph type with both the accent and the fingering.

Or take an unused articulation like unstressed above here, and edit it under Library→Music Symbols→Articulations

Thanks Jesper, you always surprise me!
All I have to do now is increase the velocity in the properties to get the audio rendering of the accents, while I wait for better days for drummers in Dorico, I hope!

If you use the playing technique, you can set the playback technique to accent in the editor.
