RESULT
During note input, slurs begin from the currently selected note on all staves across which the
caret extends, not from the caret position. Slurs extend automatically as you input notes, and
end on the currently selected note.
When adding slurs to existing notes, the selected notes are connected by slurs. For example, if
you select two notes in one staff and two notes in another staff, two slurs are input. They connect
the notes on each selected staff.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments, for example, if you have
slurs in one voice and staccatos in another voice.

Inputting ngerings
You can input ngerings on existing notes using the ngerings popover, both during note input
and by adding them to existing notes.
NOTE
● You can only add ngerings to notes at one rhythmic position at a time, and you can only
input as many
ngerings as there are notes at each rhythmic position. For example, you can
input three ngerings at the rhythmic position of a chord containing three notes, but only
one ngering at the rhythmic position of a single note.
● If you select notes in multiple voices, ngerings are only input into the top voice.
● Although they contain two numbers, substitution ngerings are considered one ngering,
meaning you can add substitution ngerings to single notes.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
● Start note input.
● Select the existing notes to which you want to add ngering.
If you want to add ngerings to all notes in a chord, select all the notes in the chord.
2. Press Shift-F to open the ngerings popover.
3. Optional: If you are inputting ngerings for fretted instruments, change the hand in one of
the following ways:
●
To switch to the right hand, press Down Arrow .
●
To switch to the left hand, press Up Arrow .
The popover icon updates to show the current hand.
