I've done the same thing using Articulations, which might be what
you're already doing. But for multiple, stacked fingering for piano
chords, it might work best to set up a variety of expressions by
shape. You could get the spacing just the way you want. But you
would have to define a different one for each combination of
fingerings. I've tried this with arrangements I've done for my
students, but in reality, it's a pain. I just stack up articulations
using meta tools, and it goes pretty fast for me, since I'm used to
it. If I have a lot of repetition of the same combinations, I use
Robert's Mass Copy extensively.
I also use articulations with metatools for stacked fingerings.
Considering you only have five numbers, you can easily have 6
positions defined for each figure, using the numbers themselves and
the letters as metatools (using the disposition of the keyboard to
remember which is which).
12345
QWERT=12345 one notch lower (or higher)
etc.
This is much easier and faster than trying to define all the
possible combinations, in my opinion.
I absolutely agree. As I said it is a pain any other way. I haven't
taken a look at the font she suggested, but I will once some time
opens up this weekend. But I'm so used to articulations as
fingerings, I don't really think about any more. I tried setting up
various shapes with the more common fingerings for piano music, which
I do a ton of for my students, and I gave up. Articulations were
much faster and I was more used to them.
