position of fermata

Hello,

I can't place a fermata just on a note. Even when preserve width is not checked, the fermata is not placed just on the note.

Please help me.
Thank you very much.

Justification: Center
Alignment/Placement: at next note/bar
Preserve Width should not be checked.

This should be the default for a fermata, but it is not. :(

G'day Rick,

I always use the toolbar button for fermata(s?) and centred at next note is what I get... Though I have noticed if you use <e> or the Insert menu it is left/best fit...
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

Yeah, but this is the General Discussion Forum.
There seems to more NWC2 content here since the forum format changed.
I suspect that it is quite confusing to folks that only use ver 1.75b

BTW, it is probably fermati

Not an NWC2-only feature at all.  Using toolbar customization, I have a fermata on my 1.75b toolbar, as well as breath mark and all of the dynamics from ppp through fff.

If probably anything, it's probably fermate.

(Or fermatae, if it were Latin.  Or fermatata, if it were Greek?)

I stand corrected. It has been so long ago that I forgot when toolbars got configurable.
I expected to find it under Tools->Options rather than View. (Not that this has changed)

It has been improved it NWC2. Staff Position is at the cursor rather than fixed at 9

I'll defer to your knowledge of Italian plurals.
