Hello,
It’s possible to have a way to select only the fingering on a score in dorico4
No, you can’t filter fingering. Because fingerings are properties of notes, they can’t be selected independently from notes.

What would one do with several fingerings, other than delete them? There is a command for that in the Edit menu.
Or you can filter/use Select More on the notes, then turn off their Fingering property.

Thank you, that’s what I wanted @pianoleo
The goal is to place the fingering sideways in a burst.
Congratulations to the Dorico team for this wonderful fingering tool which is a great service.
I hope that this fabulous tool will remain in the future, even though it makes extra work, I agree.
@Mark_Johnson Nel caso in cui tu voglia cancellare la diteggiatura è sufficiente selezionare l’area del pentagramma interessata e poi Modifica ➛ Diteggiature ➛ Reinizializza la diteggiatura (Vedi allegato)
Buona Musica.
HI Daniel,
I know this is an old post but I’m still young to Dorico… If I want to move part of the fingering above/down a melody is there a way to do it? In Sibelius (sorry but I can’t avoid mentioning) it was as simple as selecting and dragging…
Thank you,

Select the section you want to change. You may need to Filter (select)>Notes and chords to show all the note properties in the lower panel. There you can change the fingering properties all at once…

Thank you very much, @Janus, mission accomplished!
I’m really a newbie in Dorico and I hadn’t very much to study it, so far… Just started to watch the long introduction video and taking some notes…
Best,

Post Scriptum: I struggle to understand the reason to make a simple process, like selecting+moving fingering numbers, more complicated compared to both Sibelius and Dorico, as it can make the job a lot longer at the end…
Not to be polemical, I’m only trying to understand if there’s some kind of advantage…
Thank you,

Art, you can select and move fingering numbers in Engrave mode by clicking on them with the mouse, and then either dragging them or nudging them with Alt+arrow keys.
If you find that you want to move a whole bunch of fingerings at once, very likely you shouldn’t be doing that by dragging them anyway. You should check the settings on the Fingering page of Library > Engraving Options to change the global options so that they are positioned as you want them to be in the first place.
Unless I’ve missed it, you’ve not said why you are finding yourself needing to move lots of fingerings. We have worked hard to position fingerings automatically so that you don’t in general need to move them. So tell us more about the situations you are finding where fingerings need to be moved en masse.
HI @dspreadbury,
sorry, I missed your answer that I see now to be written three days ago, so thank you for writing and for hints!..
I’m a music teacher in junior school (11-13 years) and I was asked from a colleague to put fingering in a simple keyboard melody part so to have upper fingering referring to right hand and lower fingering referring to left hand instead; I’m not used to do that way so I hadn’t had that need until that moment…
I’m still at the very beginning approaching Dorico so I’m still trying to understand the ‘concept’ but maybe I’m starting to understand it’s a bit different from other notation sw I used in the past; I hope to have more time to start a deep dive into it…
Best,
Art
