How to add the fingering

  1. 1
    Get a score of SIDE BY SIDE
    Download a MusicXML or MIDI from MuseScore, IMSLP or 8notes — or convert a YouTube cover first.
  2. 2
    Upload it and pick your hand size
    This intermediate arrangement needs a mix of five-finger shapes and position changes — an M (octave) hand size fits most players, and you can re-suggest at XS–S if the stretches feel tight.
  3. 3
    Suggest, then personalise
    Every note gets a finger, with runs and chords snapped to standard patterns. Change any note, recalculate a bar, or pick a pattern from the gallery.
  4. 4
    Export
    MusicXML (opens in Synthesia and MuseScore with the numbers on the notes), a printable PDF sheet, MIDI, or a Synthesia package.

Questions

How do I get the fingering for SIDE BY SIDE?
Open the Piano Fingering tool, upload a MusicXML or MIDI of SIDE BY SIDE, and it suggests a finger on every note for both hands. Adjust anything, then export MusicXML, a PDF sheet, or a Synthesia package.
Can the fingering match my hand size?
Yes. Pick a hand size from XXS to XXL and the suggestions change — smaller hands trade wide stretches for more thumb-unders, larger hands keep the hand still. Fingering is personal, so you keep the last word on every note.
Will the finger numbers show in Synthesia?
Yes. Export MusicXML (Synthesia opens it directly with the numbers on the falling notes) or the Synthesia package (a MIDI plus a matching .synthesia metadata file).
