Hammer-ons and pull-os are common techniques used in various genres. These two techniques are opposites: In a
hammer-on you jump from an open string onto a fretted note; in a pull-o you jump o a fretted note to an open string.
Notion uses small letters (H and P) to notate these performance techniques on both notation and Tab staves.
The role of these sounds in Notion are primarily as accentuators in the context of short time-value notes that have an
open string followed by a fretted note (for an H) or a fretted note followed by an open string (for a P) right in the notation.
For two distinct note sounds, use grace notes.

In Edit mode, place the mark on your Music Cursor in any of the following ways:

Hammer-on
N once

Position your Music Cursor at the note aected (have the destination note notated) and either click your mouse or press
Enter.
You can also write a slur into the sta, and it will show automatically in tab. If you are only showing tablature, then you
can write slurs directly onto tablature. Use Shift+S, click the rst note, then the last note of the desired slur.
