I used to do this often. Now it doesn’t seem to work. I can’t get the fingerings to show next to the notes, only above the notes. I used to just have to unclick “Allow left-hand fingerings…”
What should I do?
a) Is your screenshot of a fretted instrument?
b) Unless I’m mistaken, deactivating “Allow left-hand fingerings inside the staff” means left-hand fingerings aren’t allowed inside the staff. Does enabling that option re-allow them inside the staff?
Disabling the option allows fingerings inside the staff. At least it did last time I tried it. This time I tried it both ways, and it didn’t do anything but keep the fingerings outside the staff above the notes.
The screenshot is of a fretted instrument–a guitar. I have tried it both ways. Before now I have had to uncheck the box to get it to work.
Weird. One project I did a while ago works as expected. The one I did this time doesn’t. Maybe I should send you my current project?
I see what happened. I renamed the part, and it might have come from an XML too. (I’m flying through this stuff in small bits making 1-page parts from various and sundry sources.)
Is there any way to ascertain what was the name of the part before I renamed it?
You could try resetting the instrument name for the instrument via the Edit Instrument Names dialog, which should reveal the original instrument type.
Hello Daniel,
I have another question.
How come the circled fingerings don’t appear circled anymore when they are in the staff?
You can do it manually but then Dorico considers that they are still on top and this sometimes causes problems for staff spacing
At the moment, fingerings with circular and underline enclosures can only be drawn outside the staff.
Hopefully this will change with an update.
It would be nice to be able to have square or plus fingering for the accordion.
Thanks a lot
