● To end the current playing technique with another playing technique, enter that playing
technique. For example, enter vibrato. This joins the current playing technique to the
following one with a continuation line.
●
To end the current playing technique with another open-ended playing technique, enter
that playing technique followed by ->. For example, enter vibrato->. This joins the
current playing technique to the following one with a continuation line.
●
To end the current playing technique without inputting another playing technique,
enter ? into the popover. This leaves the current playing technique with a duration line
rather than a continuation line.
RESULT
The specied playing techniques are input. They are considered voice-specic by default,
meaning they only apply to the voice indicated by the caret indicator during step input or the
selected voice when adding playing techniques to existing notes. They are automatically placed
above the staff for up-stem voices and below the staff for down-stem voices.
Adjoining playing techniques, or playing techniques that were input together or in sequence, are
automatically grouped together, both during note input and when adding playing techniques to
existing notes.
During note input, playing techniques are input at the caret position and extend automatically if
you included an open-ended playing technique with duration.
When adding playing techniques to a single existing note, they are added to the selected note
only and have no duration. When adding playing techniques to a range of notes, they are added
to the rst note in the selection and have duration, which applies until the end of the selection.
For playing techniques whose continuation type is set to show lines, the appropriate
continuation line is shown.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
● You can move playing techniques within playing technique groups, lengthen/shorten playing
techniques, and hide/show playing technique continuation lines.
● You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments to hear different
playing techniques in different voices simultaneously.

Inputting playing techniques with the panel
You can input playing techniques using the Playing Techniques panel, both during note input and
by adding them to existing notes.

sequence, you can use the popover.
