Inputting ngerings
You can input ngerings on existing notes using the ngerings popover, both during note input
and by adding them to existing notes.
NOTE
● You can only add ngerings to notes at one rhythmic position at a time, and you can only
input as many
ngerings as there are notes at each rhythmic position. For example, you can
input three ngerings at the rhythmic position of a chord containing three notes, but only
one ngering at the rhythmic position of a single note.
● If you select notes in multiple voices, ngerings are only input into the top voice.
●
Although they contain two numbers, substitution ngerings are considered one ngering,
meaning you can add substitution ngerings to single notes.
