Description

Your idea

Is it practicable to allow the user to control vertical-alignment of fingerings? This would facilitate the alignment of fingerings which have been flipped to the "Below" position" – which are currently quite ragged-looking.

Currently the vertical-alignment of fingerings seems to be preset, and the vertical align feature in the Properties toolbar is inactive.

Problem to be solved

Vertical alignment is OK for the default "Above" position:
default_position
But not so good for the flipped "Below" psotiion:
position_below

The vertical alignment in the "Below" case could be improved by allowing the user to align the characters to the new baseline. e.g.
flipped_smooth
