Guitar notation: Barré

[ulf_b]

What is the quickest way to enter the barré sign in guitar notation? Usually it is a C or a B plus a Roman numeral that indicates the position. Sometimes there is also a vertical line for the number of strings and a horizontal line for the duration. Any hints would be appreciated. I have Dorico 5 pro.

There is a very helpful thread from 2021 which may be interesting:

Barré chord fingering annotations for (classical) guitar

Forgive. a “noob” question, are the fingerings for tonal reference (i.e. to create a specific sound or tonality?) or as a learning method, or something else? I haven’t done much with fingerings, but I AM interested in writing classical guitar pieces. I wanted to see what the fingerings should indicate, just so I am more informed when I start on a guitar piece! Thanks in advance!

Look for the postings of andyforrest.
