Cannot make a circle around fingering p ,i , m or a in version 2.0
As contrasted with 1.3 I cannot make a circle around those right hand fingering elements.
How can I do this? I checked in the 'Text Properties' pop-up window 'Frame' and 'circle' after selecting a particular fingering
(for instance an 'm'), but nothing happens.
Can somebody give advice please?

(hold down the Ctrl key) does not work?
Works for me too. Can you post the score you are having trouble with and more precise steps to reproduce?

In menu item: Style / Text / Fingering - it looks like '0' is set as the 'Border width'.
Enter a number, such as 0.20, and the fingering circle will appear.
Regards.

Thats it Jm6stringer! I could never have figured this out by myself.
In 1.3, I did not have to set this width (it is just labeled as 'Width')
Thanks.

You shouldn't need to set it in a score created from scratch in 2.0 Beta 1 or later builds either. There was a time a few months ago when the default width was 0 - maybe you created the score then?
No Marc, it was a 'scratch from 2.0 beta' score.

Are you positive? Can you try again? I just tried it in 2.0 Beta, and the default "Border width" for the Fingering is 0.2sp. Perhaps you created the score not from scratch but from a template you saved earlier?
if you still have problems, please list the precise steps you are following. Here are mine:
1) start MuseScore
2) Ctrl+N to create new score, choose "from scratch"
3) choose one of the guitar instruments
4) finish
5) add note
6) click note, double click "p" in Fingering palette
7) right click the "p", Text Properties
Result: Border width is 0.20sp

Marc, I executed exactly those steps you adviced to do and indeed
the result is a default border width of 0.20sp.
So you are right, but this still leaves me puzzled because when I faced that problem, I
made a test 'score from scratch', the one that I posted here.
But I consider this now as solved.
Thanks,
Joe.
