I do it by entering the fingerings as lyrics. Cheers, Lawrence 2009/1/23 Funky Bear Music funkybearmu...@mac.com Anybody know if there is a quick way to vertically align several articulations? I use them for fingerings and want to line up the fingerings for a chord. Thanks Jeff Tanner

A couple of years ago I made a concerted effort to try out Sibelius. I had a lot of input from the Sib listserv and Daniel Spreadbury (sp?). Turned out that neither the whiteout fingerings nor the auto placement of fingerings before noteheads was possible. Those were both deal busters for me.
