Hi, how can I set the fingering to the note head left side as a default option for the entire flow? Thx
Nice question Giovanni! I tried selecting all the notes with fingering, to modify all the properties in one shot, but unfortunately I couldn’t succeed because there is no specific filter, and if you select all the notes and chords, the relatives properties cannot yield the fingering position…
Now I’m looking for options… but I don’t find the right one…
Let’s wait for someone more expert!
As a personal taste I wouldn’t suggest a standard position like that… but… de gustibus…
I have experienced the same . Thanks for your time. Let’s wait then!

I don’t think there is a default option. But you can do a select all, filter>notes and chords (filter>deselect any tuplets or grace notes), then set the lower panel property.

This is the important part! Grace notes unfortunately don’t behave like normal notes…

Obviously this means no fingering change to grace and tuplets…
Can you explain why (and how you know it) fingering cannot be a property of grace and especially tuplets?
I noticed that even if there are no tuplets they must be deselected for properties to re-appear!
No. It means no fingering change to grace notes only. The removal of tuplet (signs) from the selection is only needed to ensure the notes properties are visible in the lower panel.

True Janus! (In fact I didn’t have any tuplet in my test). Many thanks, now it’s clearer to me why tuplets, because signs cannot have fingering. Remains the doubt for graces because they can be fingered, and, if selected, the fingering property appears…
Ciao @Alberto_Maria, adding to what @Janus said, you can select all and filter only for grace notes, and you can then set the property (Position left of notehead) for all grace notes fingerings at once. (As said grace notes are separate “entities” than non-grace notes, in Dorico)
(I hope I don’t misunderstand your request)
