Re: Notating fingerings

There aren't any standard rules as to how you'd mark the forked, cross/key and LH F key fingerings in so long as you know which one you mean at any time. Everyone will have a different idea, but provided it does the job that's all that matters.

I usually put an X over the cross/key F fingering, an L over the LH F and a fork symbol over the forked Fs. For Ebs, you can use L or R above them (likewise with R over the G#/Abs where you'd use a RH G#/Ab).

You can also use harmonic F (top line F) by playing low Bb with the 1st 8ve key open (and marked with an O above them).
