Adding extra fingerings.

• Dec 13, 2024 - 15:06

Hi all,
I've forgotten how to add extra fingerings and I can't find it in the manual.
Fingerings go up to 5 and I need to add 6,7 & 8.
Thanks.

Click on "More" or place any fingering and edit it to change the number, then [Ctrl][Shift]-drag it back onto your palette for later use.

I guess using the string numbers is ok, but there used to be a way to edit a fingering number and then save that to the fingering palette.

Yes, you can place a number on the score, edit it and put it back into the palette. Attached is a palette file with 8, 9 and 0 aded

Thank you for that!
Where do I put this .mpal and can you tell me how to put the number back into the palette, please.

Ok, I got the .mpal file to load. Now just need 6 & 7 :-)

Finally remembered. Put the 5 above a note as a fingering, edit 5 to 6 or whatever. Make sure editing is enabled in Fingering, then press Ctrl +Shift and move the edited Fingering into the fingering box.

Here it is in the handbook https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/fingering.

But surely, fingerings are numbered per hand. How many fingers do you have on each hand?

Extreme polydactyly?

But not in public.

I play the Theremin, so I use 8 notes plus 0 .

Not the mouse organ, then?

So does the 8 mean 4 fingers from each hand?
