Easy fingering input mode
- Drag and drop method for adding fingering is currently uncomfortable;
- Selecting a note and double clicking on the symbol is too much 'click-dependent'.
Then, it would not be possible to extend to the fingering, to move from one note to another, the use of the right/left arrows (as you do for notes), the space bar (as you do for the lyrics) or the Tab key (as you do for Chords symbols)?

Dear Jojo-Schmitz,
I am a little bit puzzled here because I cannot figure out what kind of change in the fingering method has been introduced. Has it changed? Can I still keep the "old method" of fingering?
This, because I am not finding any problems or inconvenience in the way it is implemented now.
All the best,
Joe.

Nothing has changed. The old method is the current method. This thread is about a request for an easier method. The current method works fine if you are just adding a few here and there, but imagine adding a fingering to every note, like one might with lyrics. In that case it would be easier to type a fingering, hit Space to move to the next note, type a fingering, hit Space, etc - no need to constantly click and move the mouse around. But even if that ever gets implemented, I can't imagine the current method ever going way.

The request is for a method of entering fingerings that does not require you to select a note, double click the palette, select a note, double click the palette... but rather a method similar to entering lyrics. Enter your notes, then enter a not-yet-implemented fingering input method where you will be able to select a starting note and press numbers (or letters) to enter fingerings. You can press return to put multiple fingerings on a chord or press the spacebar to move to the next note.
A method like as this has been discussed often in these forums, but I don't think anyone has ever made an official feature request (now called a suggestion) in the past. Also, my example is only one way it could be implemented. There are other options that would also make sense.
