Did you mean on the hand assignment screen? Or haven't you seen the finger hint editing mode before? (That's an older video; the icon to enter finger hint mode is at the top-right now; press F1 to see a list of what each button up there does.)

Because most gestures (left/right click, one/two finger touch and drag, etc.) are already being used on the hand splitting screen, I'd be worried about adding too much more complexity in the same place. I already worry that even adding the new speaker icon at the top-right will add a little confusion about how the left and right "tool palettes" work.

I do agree that the two features are rather tightly interrelated. Really, assigning fingers is giving practically the same information as the hand-split. If it were normal to add finger hints to every single note, you'd only need the one source of information. At the very least, Synthesia could probably warn you when a note is tagged as, say, belonging to the left hand but there is a finger hint on it for the right hand. That should cause something like the number to pulse red when you're in finger hint editing mode.

Where you put the extra label on very short notes? Does one get preferred over the other?

I'd love to be able to see both labels sometimes. Personally, when space is limited I'd give preference to the note over the finger, but that's just me. In a dream world, the font size could be adjusted so the labels could be more subtle on large screens.

Thanks!
