Open the attached score. This shows the full range of placement options for the new L H Guitar FIngering in 3.0-dev. There are some bugs:

  1. All the fingering has been placed too far to the left. IMV, an additional X-offset of 0.9 sp is needed to correct this.

  2. In Measure 5 there are inconsistencies in position. IMV, it is best best to put the fingering directly above the beam in all cases for upstem notes (this applies to measure 6 as well). The opposite rule for downstem notes. IMV, the beam to fingering distance shown under letter "B" is fine.

Regarding #1, it seems there is a -0.5sp X offset in the default text style for LH guitar fingering, and it is set to right aligned. I'm betting that's a leftover from the old algorithm and should just be replaced with something more appropriate. Looks like changing this to 0sp and center alignment fixes things. Could you verify this works better for you in general? If so, this is an easy change.

The second item has to do with autoplacement I believe and seems unrelated. Better to have these as separate reports.

That looks much better with the settings you've recommended. The only issue is with measures 9 and 10: in voice 1, the gap between the fingering number and the stem is slightly too large. Is it possible to increase the x-offset for the upstem, unbeamed, single notes only by another 0.15 sp?
