I don't agree, one reason is that having the same font/style for both playing instructions and measure numbers will not separate them visually when measure numbers appear near the expressions (such as when measure numbers are used on the staves). > 10 point bold italic for tuplet numbers. FWIW, I believe that's the current default. > - Having a much wider range of arrows to attach to custom smart shapes, e.g. > bigger, wider etc. Yes, the current 3 preset arrowheads are much too limited as a default set. Another thing regarding fingering numbers (articulations), it's probably "best" to set these as "Always Place Outside Staff". Since the supplied default files mainly are a way to provide decent settings for users who don't know/care about how to tweak the defaults, this setting would produce better default results. However, leave the ring symbol for harmonic/open string (metatool 'O') as it is.
