The Dorico manual seems to indicate that fingerings, in the case of several voices on a staff, only appear for the top voice, which is of course irritating if confirmed. In the example below, the pianist’s thumb must press B and C, i.e. two notes. The fingering is therefore 1,1,2,5. But it doesn’t work. Is there a trick?
Hi @Mute,
adding to @Alberto_Maria (Buon Anno!) suggestion: to put the fingerings on the fifth, click on the stem of the up-stem voice 1 (this will select both notes) before you add 2,5 in the popover.
Then click on the stem of the down-stem voice 1 (this will select both notes) and write 1,1 in the popover.
Here some more visualisation options/variations for this case:
Global setting to automatically follow the voice directions:

Put one of them on the left of the notehead (not sure if this looks good, but is a possibility):

I’ve done it, though, and it doesn’t work here.
Happy New Year! Ok, I tried that and it didn’t work. It must be in the options. I’ll take a closer look. Thank you so much!
Okay, everything’s working fine now. I’ve modified the options to place the fingerings on each corresponding voice. As for the rest, I don’t know what I was or wasn’t doing! Fatigue, no doubt. Anyway, thanks for this very detailed explanation.

Do you have a link to the page in the manual where you saw this indicated?
In French, in the second point of the note:
" * Quand vous sélectionnez des notes dans plusieurs voix, les doigtés sont uniquement insérés dans la voix du haut.".
In English :
“If you select notes in multiple voices, fingerings are only input into the top voice.”
Indeed, it clearly says what Mute has understood…

Thank you - what that means is, if your current selection includes multiple voices, fingerings only go into the top voice.
However, that doesn’t prevent you selecting just a note/some notes in the second voice and inputting fingerings into that.
Ie you can input fingerings into any voice, just one voice “stream” at a time.

Hello Lillie,
Indeed, it means what it says. But what’s missing from the manual text is what you explain next. Because this note, left alone, is confusing (as I was confused). With the addition of your explanation, it would be crystal clear for everyone.
That’s why I wrote:

Letting @Lillie_Harris decide, of course, if the addition will be done, may I add that that line of text maybe “implicitly contains the answer” on how to add fingerings in multiple voices?:
One way of interpreting that line:
If you select notes in multiple voices, fingerings are only input into the top voice = don’t select multiple voices = input fingering selecting on voice at a time
(I agree that it would be ideally nice to have every explanation containing explicitly the different cases/opposite action behaviour. But sometimes those cases are deducible from the text, and the Manual would be even longer if every case would be written down… Just my humble opinion.)

Yes, of course. I don’t know why it didn’t work yesterday. A spider in my head, no doubt.

If the whole manual were implicit, where would we be? I say this cordially. I think it’s better to say: go straight on, than to say: don’t go left or right (even if implicitly it means: straight on). But, as you say, let’s leave that to Lillie.
p.s. I’d like to add here that having a manual in French (or other languages) adds a lot of value to Steinberg’s products. Steinberg, don’t ever abandon this very honourable tradition!
Don’t say so @Mute! We all have spiders in our heads sometimes, and not always during the holidays
