Transition line
Indicates that the playing technique at the start must gradually turn into the playing
technique at the end over the duration specied by the line. The transition line for
most playing techniques is a solid line with an arrow cap at the end.
Transition lines are automatically shown between playing techniques in groups.
NOTE
Playing technique continuation lines do not affect playback. The sounds produced in playback
rely on the playback playing technique associated with the playing technique, the expression
map settings, and the sound libraries loaded in the project.

Playing technique duration
In Dorico SE, playing techniques have an explicit duration when they apply to a specic range,
rather than from a single rhythmic position onwards. Playing techniques with duration can show
continuation lines.
You can give duration to any playing technique in any of the following ways:
● Group playing techniques together
● Input playing techniques with an open end during note input and extend them
● Add playing techniques to a range of notes
● Lengthen playing techniques
In Write mode, playing techniques with duration have start and end handles that show their
duration.

NOTE
Playing technique duration does not affect playback. The sounds produced in playback rely on
the playback playing technique associated with the playing technique, the expression map
settings, and the sound libraries loaded in the project.
