How do I get the fingering for Sweet Home Chicago?

Open the Piano Fingering tool, upload a MusicXML or MIDI of Sweet Home Chicago, 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).
