Usage Note
Doigté in music refers to the precise finger placement used when playing an instrument such as the piano or flute. In everyday speech, it more often means the tactful handling of a delicate situation — 'il a manqué de doigté' means he handled it clumsily. The plural doigtés is used in musical contexts for annotated fingering charts.
Examples
"Ce pianiste a un doigté remarquable."
Natural Translation
This pianist has a remarkable fingering technique.
