I just stack up articulations using meta tools, and it goes pretty fast for me, since I'm used to it. If I have a lot of repetition of the same combinations, I use Robert's Mass Copy extensively. I also use articulations with metatools for stacked fingerings. Considering you only have five numbers, you can easily have 6 positions defined for each figure, using the numbers themselves and the letters as metatools (using the disposition of the keyboard to remember which is which). 12345 QWERT=12345 one notch lower (or higher) etc. This is much easier and faster than trying to define all the possible combinations, in my opinion. I absolutely agree. As I said it is a pain any other way. I haven't taken a look at the font she suggested, but I will once some time opens up this weekend. But I'm so used to articulations as fingerings, I don't really think about any more. I tried setting up various shapes with the more common fingerings for piano music, which I do a ton of for my students, and I gave up. Articulations were much faster and I was more used to them.

[Finale] Fingerings for Piano
Is there an easy way to put in chord fingerings vertically for piano scores? At present, I have to manually separate line up vertical fingerings, which is time consuming. I am using fingering metatools. Patricia Spedden ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

RE: [Finale] Fingerings for Piano
Thank you for responding. After sending my e-mail question, I stumbled on the following site which claims to have a piano fingering font that looks really good: http://home.arcor.de/ansgarkrause/.
