My prof taught us to use trees to prove modal logic arguments. Trees seem to provide a more efficient way to test arguments than Fitch does. However, I find that trees generally, and alethic (modal) trees especially, don't read as elegantly as the methods that resemble Fitch. Can Fitch, or a system that resembles it, accommodate any of the modal logics (i.e. Alethic, temporal, deontic, etc.)? If so, is there a resource that explains how to use the system to prove modal logic arguments?
Thank you,

There are Fitch systems for about twenty different modal logics described very briskly here
More than enough to be going on with, I guess!
More expansively, Garson's good and accessible book Modal Logic for Philosophers (CUP) introduces Fitch style systems for modal logics.
