User manual

If you want to input the same playing technique in multiple places, change your mouse input
preference to Load pointer with item so that you do not have to reselect the playing
technique for each note.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
●
Start note input.
●
Select an item at the rhythmic position where you want to input a playing technique. If
you want to input playing techniques with duration, select items that span that duration.
2. In the Notations toolbox, click Playing Techniques to show the Playing Techniques panel.
3. In the Playing Techniques panel, click the playing technique you want.
RESULT
The specied playing technique is input. It is considered voice-specic by default, meaning it only
applies to the voice indicated by the caret indicator during step input or the selected voice when
adding playing techniques to existing notes. It is automatically placed above the staff for up-stem
voices and below the staff for down-stem voices.
During note input, playing techniques are input at the caret position, even if your preference is
set to Load pointer with item.
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
● If you want to show transition lines between playing techniques, you can group them
together.
● You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments to hear different
playing techniques in different voices simultaneously.

Inputting pedal lines and retakes with the popover
You can input pedal lines using the playing techniques popover, both during note input and by
adding them to existing music. Because the pedal line extends automatically as you input notes
during note input, you can input retakes when you reach the appropriate rhythmic position.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
●
Start note input.
●
Select items that span the required duration of the pedal line.
2. Press Shift-P to open the playing techniques popover.
3. Enter the appropriate entry for the pedal line you want into the popover.
For example, enter ped for a sustain pedal line.
