By default in Dorico Pro, left-hand fingerings have erased backgrounds because they are often placed in the staff on staff lines. You can change whether individual left-hand fingerings have erased backgrounds or not. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
These steps only apply to left-hand fingerings belonging to fretted instruments positioned inside the staff.
