finger placement
Where digits go
Finger placement is the positioning of fingers on an instrument, keyboard, or other surface requiring precise hand positioning.
In music, proper finger placement on a guitar fretboard or piano keys determines both technique and sound quality.
Typists learn home-row finger placement.
The term appears in any context where which finger goes where matters: The instructor corrected her finger placement on the violin.
