4. Press Return to close the popover.
RESULT
A region of the selected duration is input, in which the specied type of bar repeat symbol is
shown in the staff at the intervals specied.
NOTE
● You can input bar repeat regions during step input, however, this inputs bar repeat
regions from the bar containing the currently selected note. As bar repeats are mostly
shown in empty bars, this is likely to produce unintended results.
● You can also input bar repeat regions by clicking Create Bar Repeat Region in the Bar
Repeats group of the Repeat Structures panel. However, this only inputs a bar repeat
region containing single-bar repeats.

Inputting slurs
You can input slurs, both directly during step input and later on. When adding slurs later to
existing notes, you can add slurs to notes in multiple staves at the same time.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
● Start note input.
● Select the notes to which you want to add slurs.
TIP
You can select notes in multiple staves and input slurs on them at the same time.
If you only select a single note, the slur connects that note to the next note on the staff.
2. Input a slur in any of the following ways:
● Press S.
● Click Slur in the Notes panel.
TIP
Alternatively, click Slur in the Notes panel rst, and then click and drag to input a
slur and extend it to your preferred length.
3. Optional: During step input, input the notes you want.
The slur extends automatically, even if there are rests between the notes you input.
4. Optional: During step input, press Shift-S to end the slur on the currently selected note.
RESULT
During step input, a slur begins from the currently selected note, not from the caret position. The
slur extends automatically as you input notes, and ends on the currently selected note.
