How to make fingering numbers for specific to bass clef?

So I've set up my fingering numbers to be above the staff for treble clef, and would like to make them below the staff for bass. I know I can duplicate articulations but I can't seem to make a version specifically for bass clef. I could just move them manually of course but it'd be nice

Do you mean Finale would recognize it's applying it to base clef and automatically switch to the other set? If so, no, you can't do that. Make up another set of 5, change the positioning to "Below note." You could then make metatools for those, say Q, W, E, R, and T, corresponding to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; That would be easy to remember and easy to apply.

I work fast with the v26 paradigm. Use Metatool 1 for 1. If it needs flipping, press F. Done. This saves a lot of time from the pre v26 paradigm. No need for extra Metatools. Now, if you want to also set up a unique stacking order for Bass Staff, that's another issue. The stacking order depends on the order in the selection window.

Oh, flipping articulations is a nice new feature.
They should have ordered stacked articulations in the order you apply them. More flexible. The order in the window seems rather arbitrary.
