You should only put the fingerings in for those places where you actually are demanding a very specific sound, such as third-space C played up high on the D string.

Otherwise, string players are going to go for whatever fingerings work best for them and ignore your fingerings. So it is usually best not to include them except for rare instances, and then you don't need to give the fingerings, only the location with an expression such as "Sul D."

In any event, don't rely on Finale's TAB feature to give you your fingerings!

In my humble opinion.

I for one am wondering the following..  When I work on a string
arrangment, part of the job is checking out the fingering to make sure
the players are going to be able to play the parts the way I want them
to.  Is this mirroring technique possibly a way to quickly look at some
tabulature that will show me the fingering?  Or is the TAB so geared
towards guitar or other fretted instruments that its basically not
useful that way?
