- Move fingering entry directly beneath the diagram
- Allow optional alternate fingering on a separate field line
- Ability to specify the offset of fingerings and the fret number from the diagram
- Button to open the Style dialog from Properties
- The option to show the fret number at a specific fret in the diagram (not just the first fret)
