Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to make a "fingering bracket": this would be a vertical bracket on the left or right of a few simultaneous notes, to indicate they are all to be fingered with the same finger.
Things to note:
- I can't use the arpeggio mark, because it's not uncommon to have both an indication of a few notes played with LH finger and with the arpeggio squiggle (see 3rd example below). It seems like it would be a good idea to reuse the infrastructure for the arpeggio bracket, of course. I just don't know how to achieve this
- often the bracket spans different voices. It's possible this will just have to be like the arpeggio case, where you simply override the limits of the object manually. I think this would be an ok thing to do, these fingering brackets rarely occur more than once in a line or so of music
- I'd like to experiment setting the number over the middle of the vertical bar of the bracket, with a blanking setting to blot out the stafflines and the bracket line behind the digit
I pasted a few examples below to give you an idea of what I mean, as it happens these are all from Zanibon engravings
Thanks a lot
Luca
