Musescore 4.1 release changes positioning of fingering symbols in tabulatures

• 18. Jul 2023 - 22:24

It was a very unpleasant experience to loose information on the positioning of fingerings upon updating to Musescore 4.1. Is there any trick to make fingerings resilient to future updates. Or even better: is there a chance to recover fingering information from previous version? Any hint is welcome - since it is a very boring exercise to correct the changed position of fingerings manually.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Selection of all fingerings works fine. CMD+R (Mac) moves the fingerings below the tabulature lines but not to the position to which I placed them in the previous Musescore versions (a little bit below the respective tabulature symbols). In summary: some improvement by your suggestion but not yet ideal.

Thank you very much for this hint, which I was able to reproduce. However my problem remains. In the previous Musescore version I had manually adjusted the position of fingerings in a way that right hand fingering information was positioned a little bit below the respective tabulature letters: e.g., a fingering symbol for a tabulature letter was placed a few spaces below the letter. In other words: depending on the position of a tabulature letter the fingering information moved with the letter. After conversion of files into Musescore 4.1 letter position dependent positioning of fingering gets lost. All fingerings end up at the same/similar Y-level.
