Can repeat signs cause a bar to have two different sets of fingerings?

[1piano4joe]

If I take the repeat then I either return to the beginning (or another repeat sign) and play that measure and generally use the fingering provided before the repeat sign.

When I return to the same measure the 2nd time, I am not taking the repeat and am going to play on to the next measure after the repeat. So, why should anyone use that same fingering?

Most editors don't write two sets of fingerings.

Sometimes, a different fingering makes things (for me anyway) a whole lot easier. The different fingering can set up or lead me more naturally to the next measure. Otherwise a fast and/or unnatural, unnecessary movement is required as the same fingering can be much less efficient in terms of economy of motion and/or legato, etc.

Does anyone agree with this, Joe?

I'd stick with the same fingering, except at the very beginning and the very end, where you may be coming in from, or heading out to, a different place.

Sorry..I was typing on a phone... If the fingering doesn't fit with the notes after the repeat sign, then you change it.
