Re: [Finale] Sibelius features?
These have been possible in Sibelius since version 4 or possibly even earlier. The fingering text style is already set up for this behaviour almost - you just need to redefine the default horizontal distance from the notehead (in the Default positions dialogue box). For the second, simply select the erase background option in the fingering text style.

Here are the features: 1. I prefer LH fingering numbers (guitar) a precise distance to the left of the notehead, but with flexibility for the vertical placement. In Finale I can hold down a key and click a notehead, and the fingering number is placed at the vertical position of the click and the preset distance from the notehead (regardless of where I click on the notehead horizontally). 2. I like LH fingering numbers in which there is a small amount of the staff line whited out. Does anyone know if Sibelius can do these?
