Back in Sib 1.4, I had to do fingerings for a Liszt piece I was
engraving for Carl Fischer. It was an absolute nightmare. This was
before customizable keyboard shortcuts, so just creating a fingering
number in the first place was a multi-keystroke process, and none of
the positioning was automated.
I would *hope* this task would be easier by now, but I haven't tried
entering fingerings in Sib 4 yet.

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.
