When switching to print mode, the fingerings and line positions become misaligned

Hi @Richard_Lanyon, I’d appreciate it if you could take a look at this issue. This is a section extracted from a guitar score, when you move fingering numbers 1,2 & 3 in Engrave Mode and switch to Print Mode, then come back to Engrave Mode, these become misaligned. Probably fingering numbers 0 & 4 does something wrong, when you remove them it doesn’t happen.

Now I’m avoiding this problem by using Shift+X text instead, but it would be great if we can figure out the cause. Please let me know, thank you.

It might be a font issue. You are using Chaconne Ex, including as Fingering Font. When I open your file, it’s getting subsituted (by Bravura I think?)

and I can’t reproduce your problem:

I’m not sure, but perhaps you should try to choose Bravura (or Sebastian, or any Music Font supported by Dorico) as Fingering Font and see what happens?

Hi Taro, I’m afraid I can’t reproduce your problem here either. I don’t have your fonts of course.

Thank you for suggestions, Charles and Richard! I switched to Bravula but I still see the same thing.

At first this was observed on my friend’s macOS environment, he also uses Chaconne EX which is a standard music font for Japanese professional engravers. I see it on my macOS 14.7 environment, and I see the same thing with my Windows 11, Chaconne EX installed.

I’m sending a project which uses Bravula as a fingering font, can you check out if you could reproduce the issue? Thank you.

Thanks for this. I think what’s happening is that Dorico is temporarily showing you the incorrect position, and then if you do something else - such as changing to Print mode, changing to a different Layout and back, or saving, closing and reopening the score - then it updates correctly. We’ll take a look.

Thank you, please let me know if you need more info from what I see.

It may not specific to fingerings, but sometimes the rendering does not update unless you refresh—such as switching to Print mode, after modifying Engraving Options. I do not remember exactly which option causes this issue, so I will report it once I am able to reproduce it.

Yes please, thanks!
