If you put <> around the note and fingering it will work, I hope. if not, then have the number within the brackets, since it does not go to the default position, and the letter outside. If that doesn't work, try making the note a chord with a unison that overwrites itself and finger each of the notes. That last should not work, but might. daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?
