Fingerings in Tablature

Can I circle the fingerings in tablature?

This “Engrave → Edit Playing Techniques…” does’n’t seem to work

Are you talking about this?

Yes, one can do that in Dorico.

Hiding/Showing enclosures around notes on tablature

You can hide/show enclosures around all chords on tablature that are a half note or longer; that is, durations shown with hollow noteheads on notation staves.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. In the category list, click Tablature.
  3. In the Enclosures section, choose one of the following options for Enclosures for notes and chords longer than a quarter note (crotchet):
  • None
  • Ellipse
  • Rounded rectangle
  1. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Enclosures are hidden around notes a half note or longer when you choose None, and shown using the corresponding shape when you choose Ellipse or Rounded rectangle.
