As a Finale user I want one key
shortcuts for each symbol but cannot find how to do this in the Demo with
its limited documentation.
How does one quickly apply fingering numbers to a succession of notes?
You create your own kbd shortcut. File>Preferences>Menus and Shortcuts, and
you have to create a new set. I doubt the demo explains this sufficiently,
but it is covered in the manual.
Is there no autopositioning of such numbers as there is for articulations in
Finale?
I just encountered this problem for the first time, and the jury is out. I
don't usually put fingerings in my own stuff, but I'm working on a job now
that requires them. So I created a shortcut. But the default is staff
attachment where I think it should be note attachment. Under House
Style>Edit Text Styles> Fingering you get a menu with a number of tabs, and
on the first there is a dialogue that actually shows an option for
attachment, but it is set on staff and grayed out. That would suggest that
under some conditions you could set that to Note and then under another tab
set its vertical position. But I haven't figured out what that condition
is. In the meantime I have to position each fingering manually.
