I have to reproduce this in a harp piece:
Searching the forum I learned the “L…” trick for reversing the stacking order, good.
As far as I understand the stack on the first note that means: place fingers 1, 2 and 4 on g/g/a in the right hand. When Shift-F -ing the upper g Dorico only allows one finger to be input and ignores the rest, which I do understand logically.
Now: do I really need to input 2 more hidden notes in the same voice to get this, or - even worse - put a finger on each voice and then drag them around in Engrave mode?
Off-topic: I love the handwritten finger numbers! That’s the sort of handwritten font I can get into.
I know more support for OpenType is in the future of Qt development. I’d love to see more support for contextual alternates, which can give a handwritten appearance by randomly choosing from several different versions of each glyph.

Of course I can input those as Shift-X, but maybe there is something more to know…
If you mean C instead of A, then I get it. (Assuming treble clef, not shown.)
But 3 numbers stacked over 2 notes is very peculiar. What reason could there be for not putting the 2 over the C?
Zooming out one level, actually I have never seen fingerings in a harp score before. Who is the intended player/market?
Three fingers on three notes. This comes from harp technique, which is putting the fingers in all notes at once, and then playing them one after another. I got this from a harp student, obviously it’s fingering written in by the editor.
Oh, of course. The fingers have to be placed early.
Thanks for the larger sample.
But there is no easy answer to my initial question, right?
Meh … No easy answer, but I found a fairly dumb workaround!
- In an additional up-stem voice, add notes to hold the extra finger numbers
- Hide their noteheads and stems, and suppress their playback
- Change notes to voice column 0 as needed so the stems align
- Remove unneeded rests
(I made the first hidden C a quarter, so I didn’t have to deal with 16th flags.)
