Fingerings?

While we're on this rave of bettering our sheets, does anyone think it would be beneficial to put fingerings in some of the more difficult arrangements?

I think that if you consider yourself skilled enough to try out the more difficult arrangements, fingering shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, if you can't figure out the fingering, you've probably got more to worry about. I'd say we could put it on some of the super-easy arrangements, but not the hardest ones.

Yes, I'm still around from time to time. For quicker response, you can reach me by PM, or drop by Smogon to say hi. I go by "Codraroll" there, because of a bet.

Agreed. Fingering is a guideline. At my level of playing, I just ignore the fingering and see what works best for me. :)

At my level of playing, I make up a fingering and regret it later. D:

^ Yes this. I'll start a piece on my own and come to my piano teacher the next week and she'll be like "WTF were you thinking? That's awful fingering!"

I seem to avoid using the 4th finger whenever possible.

Back on topic.

If people want to add fingerings to their sheets, they can go ahead. But I'm not going to go making it a requirement
