I don't know what the default practice is on modern strings,
but on the viol, one favors closed strings over open strings.
Interesting. I learned to favor open strings, all things being equal
unless the passage lies nicely on a single string.

It is hard to find (took me a couple of minutes!), but it is in Document
Options>Notes and Rests...Spacing Before Music. Spacing After music is set to
zero by default, so that each note takes up the space it is supposed to.
It is also in TG Tools Pro. Under Spacing you have "Make/Remove Space a

Go to Document Options > Notes and Rests and change the value for "Spacing
Before Music". If you set this to zero, the first note of the measure will be
stuck to the barline, so its better to just reduce it to maybe half of the
default value. You can also set a negative value for "Spacing After
Is there any way to get Finale's music spacing ("Apply Note Spacing")
routine to ignore barlines? What I need is for the barlines to still
print, but no extra horizontal space to be allotted for them.
Why would I make such a crazy request, you ask? I'm working on some

Fingerings? I'm a guitar player. Regarding violin fingerings, you have got to
be joking. Anyone who has got the gig to play the chair, whether violin, guitar
or whatever, doesn't need an instrument lesson on the spot, while they are
sight-reading. That is what we are paid to do, put our fingers

Hi all,
Do you know the exact placement of single note fingerings: always
placed above the notes or depending stems direction (like
articulations)?
I've never seen any written rule, but as a player I expect to see
them above the notes, alway

Thanks for your response. Going further :
- Quarter note up stem with tremolo and number 3 above (eight note
tuplet): fingering above?
Yes. Move the tuplet bracket and number, not the fingering.
- Never along side the noteheads (inside staff)
