Yes exactly, because of how our finger to note relation works, the enhancement in readability with the indication right at the head is enormous. L On Mon, 21 Feb 2022, 18:16 Valentin Petzel, wrote: > Sure. I suppose for a guitar person having stacked fingerings on top would > be > rather

Sure. I suppose for a guitar person having stacked fingerings on top would be rather confusing, as there is no monotonic relating between finger and pitch. As such I suppose guitar people would want to use fingerings with left or right orientations in chords anyway. Cheers, Valentin Am

I suspect we might be saying the same thing, Valentin? I was saying infix can be a bit awkward if you want 'pianist' chord fingering (just a stack of numbers above or below), and that your original -1-2-3 reads quite nicely (as in: it's easy to see in your head what you will get in the engraving

No, not nescessarily. If we want all Fingerings on top or below there is no real benefit of doing the chord thing. In fact doing that leads to the exact same issue of the fingering for d being next to the other ones. Cheers, Valentin 21.02.2022 12:38:40 Luca Fascione : > But wouldn't you

This is neat! Thansk Valentin your explanation is very clear. Question: I would have thought it should be the fingering mark to push the beams away, not the other way around, I'm expecting it's uncool to go rummage in the setup of the beams/stems in before-line-break? Or is this how that

But wouldn't you finger that as ? (Didn't check the number, I'm just meaning going infix vs postfix) I can see that this idea of mine does have issues for fingering your way around (which seems to me it's more of a fingering atop thing, like you would have in a keyboard score) L On Mon, 21 Feb

Hello Luca, changing the X-parent to the NoteHead would mean that we are aligning the Fingering horizontally wrt. the NoteHead instead of the whole NoteColumn. This would then mean that if for example due to some chord some note heads are on the other side of the Stem the alignment of

Hello Luca, A scheme engraver follows the concept of a closure, so it is some sort of function that returns different values on different arguments. This is somewhat the functional approach to OOP. So an engraver can be seen as an object that has some methods, which (as some sort of callback)

Hello Harm, That is not exactly true. As I have done in my previous reply we can create an engraver that acknowledges Fingerings and NoteHeads and store a reference to the NoteHead grob in the Fingerings details property. Cheers, Valentin Am Montag, 21. Februar 2022, 01:22:18 CET schrieb

Thank you very much - that's a nicer resolution than I had managed (which was very much a hack - less code for a single example, but poorer spacing). As for crossStaff and direction, I have certainly found matching to be necessary in my experience; and it's logical to require the same, because

Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment, this helps me refine my understanding of what's going on. At the same time, while I do see that for other articulations (fermata, appoggiato) this parenting scheme works very well, I remain wondering whether for the style of layout of the fingering indications
