An automatic slur cannot extend across region boundaries. If you want to add an automatic
slur extending between two regions, first merge the regions.
Add automatic slurs using a key command
You can add a series of automatic slurs to a line, a part, or a full score. By selecting the
start and end notes for each individual slur, then applying the relevant key command, you
can add multiple automatic slurs in one operation. Each pair defined by the start and end
note receives an automatic slur. Individual automatic slurs cannot extend across region
boundaries.
1. Select the start and end notes for each individual slur you want to add.
2. Use the “Create Auto Slurs for non-contiguous selected notes” key command.
