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.
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?
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.
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.
