Inputting arpeggio signs with the panel

You can input arpeggio signs on existing notes using the Ornaments panel. You can also input

arpeggio signs across notes in multiple voices and on different staves that belong to the same

instrument, such as piano or harp.

NOTE

● You can only input one arpeggio sign at a time, and you cannot input arpeggio signs with

the mouse during note input.

● These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference Create item at

selection.

You cannot create cross-staff and cross-voice arpeggio signs if your preference is set to Load

pointer with item.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, select at least one note in each voice to which you want to add an arpeggio

sign.

NOTE

● For instruments with multiple staves, such as piano and harp, you can select existing

notes on multiple staves to create cross-staff arpeggio signs. However, you cannot

create cross-staff arpeggio signs between different instruments.

● Arpeggio signs are added to all notes in the selected voices at the selected rhythmic

position.

2. In the Notations toolbox, click Ornaments to show the Ornaments panel.

3. In the Ornaments panel, click the arpeggio sign you want in the Arpeggiation section.

RESULT

The arpeggio sign specied is input to the left of the selected note or chord. Arpeggio signs

automatically span the pitch range of all notes in the selected voices/staves at that rhythmic

position.
