Specifying on which string individual notes are played
You can specify on which string individually selected notes are played when notes are in the
staves of string instruments, such as violins or cellos. Many notes can be played on multiple
strings, depending on where along its length the string is stopped.
Specifying the string can be useful for notes that also have glissando lines or ngering shifts, as
the string and nger position required to play the note affects the direction of these changes.
However, the string number is not shown in the music. You can instead input ngerings, which
can help string players understand the string on which they should play.
NOTE
You can only specify strings on notes belonging to string instruments.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the notes whose assigned string you want to change.
NOTE
If selecting multiple notes at once, select notes only in staves of the same instrument type.
For example, select multiple Cs in Violin 1 and Violin 2 staves.
2. In the Properties panel, activate String in the Notes and Rests group.
3. Select your preferred string from the menu.
The string number for the instrument is shown, followed by the fundamental pitch and the
octave number of that string in parentheses. For example, the lowest cello string is
expressed as 4 (C2).
NOTE
The options available in the menu depend on the selected pitches and the instrument
type.
RESULT
The string on which the selected notes are played is changed.
