\u201cHow can I make the font of the fingering bigger?At the moment, I cannot read these numbers. Changing the text settings in the layout options didn\u2019t do anything…\u201d<\/p>\n

Fingering is meant to help you (and your students) best navigate your sheet music.<\/p>\n

Naturally, you want your navigation to be easy on the eye. And the numbers for your fingers must not interfere with your playing.<\/p>\n

To accommodate personal preferences, FORTE comes with a variety of layout options related to fingering. <\/p>\n

Let’s have a look at these options step-by-step (and of course, we’ll cover Mark’s question).<\/p>\n

Writing your fingering<\/h2>\n

You can see the different types of numbers you have at your disposal in the image below. They can be found in the tab \u201cAccents \/ Techniques\u201d of the input palette.\"fingering<\/span><\/p>\n

As a rule, the placement of the fingering is opposite to the direction of the note\u2019s stem.So, if the stem goes up, the fingering is below the note. And if the stem goes down, the fingering is above the note.<\/p>\n

Editing the properties of your fingering<\/h2>\n

\"fingering<\/span><\/p>\n

When you double-click on the fingering on your score, the properties window will open.<\/p>\n

The tab \u201cAppearance\u201d allows you to change the number or symbol. You can also change the place of the element from \u201cbelow\u201d to \u201cabove\u201d the note and vice versa.<\/p>\n

(The tab \u201cPerformance\u201d enables editing of how an element influences the playback of the note. In the case of fingering, this tab is irrelevant.)<\/p>\n

In the tab \u201cGeneral,\u201d you can reposition the element, change its color or hide it completely. (Please note: changing the size value will not affect the symbol here.)<\/p>\n

Layout your fingering: position and size<\/h2>\n

While you\u2019re making the final adjustments on your layout, you can also edit the position of the fingering.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to reposition an element, simply click on the element. It should now turn red. Press ctrl (and keep ctrl pressed) while using the arrow keys to reposition the element to the desired place.<\/p>\n

Please note:In this selection, all accents are edited. It might be necessary to adjust some accent\u2019s size manually again. Please open the properties window of the element you want to edit and adjust the percentage value.<\/p>\n
