You can change the vertical position of individual fingerings relative to slurs, octave lines, ornaments, tuplets, and articulations at the ends of slurs, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

By default, fingerings are positioned inside the arcs of slurs, but outside both the ends of slurs and any octave lines, ornaments, tuplets, or articulations at the same positions.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the fingerings whose vertical position you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Slur-relative position in the Fingering and Positions group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • Inside

    • Outside

Result

The selected fingerings are positioned either inside or outside of slurs, octave lines, ornaments, tuplets, and articulations at the ends of slurs. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can change the default vertical position of all fingerings project-wide on the Fingering page in Engraving Options.
