I agree with all of the above except that I'm pretty sure the roman number indicates position and not string number. I've never seen a violin fingering indicating the string. Stating the position and the finger does denote the string indirectly and every violist I know would immediately be able to tell the string :) AFAIA only guitarists (and possibly bass players) think about their strings in numbers :) Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: [email protected] GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver
