Hiding/Showing brackets for right-hand fingerings
When multiple notes in the same chord are plucked by the same right-hand finger, you can show the same fingering multiple times, once for each note, or show a single fingering for all notes with a bracket spanning the notes plucked by that finger. When showing a separate fingering for each note, you can also choose to place each fingering either above or below the staff.
These steps only apply to right-hand fingerings belonging to fretted instruments.
