Barres and fret numbers

Sorry about that. I’ve copied the content out here …

I hope this works easily for you.
Here is the user library file…
userlibrary.xml (260.5 KB)

Here’s an example of what the result looks like and an image of where to put the file.
(It might be an idea to drag your original out in case you want to revert).

Now restart Dorico and you should be able to follow these instructions:-

Enter (Barré) Positions as follows:-
Click note or rhythmic position and press Shift->P
(For a continuation line, select the first and last notes relevant).

In the pop-up box enter …
for simple position indicators enter pn where n is the position number n .
for barrés enter cn where n is the position number n .
for half barrés enter hcn where n is the position number n .
Click return to exit.

The pn, cn and hcn entries are my own shorthand to bring up the relevant ‘glyph’.

It it easy to change the extension line to a solid one if you prefer within the Edit Playing Techniques dialog.
Choose category-> Guitar from the dropdown menu, select a position marker, change the continuation type and then click the little star that sets it as default…
