Fingerings are normally shown in a bold, non-italic font, but you can show individual fingerings in italics.

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.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the fingerings you want to show in italics.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Italic in the Fingering and Positions group.

Result

The selected fingerings are shown in a bold italic font if your project-wide setting for fingerings is a bold font, and in a plain italic font if your project-wide setting for fingerings is a plain font.

Note

Bold italic fingerings look very similar to tuplet numbers, which can be confusing.
