Inputting slurs
You can input slurs, both during note input and by adding them to existing notes. You can also
add slurs to existing notes on multiple staves at the same time.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
Start note input.
Select the notes to which you want to add slurs.
TIP
You can select notes on multiple staves and input slurs on them at the same time.
If you only select a single note, the slur connects that note to the next note on the
staff.
2. Optional: If you want to input slurs onto multiple staves at once, extend the caret to those
staves.
3. Press S .
TIP
Alternatively, click Slur in the Notes panel, and then click and drag to input a slur and extend
it to your preferred length.
4. Optional: During note input, input the notes you want.
The slur extends automatically, even if there are rests between the notes you input.
5. Optional: During note input, press Shift-S to end the slur on the currently selected note.
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.
