Inputting slurs
You can input slurs, both during note input and by adding them to existing notes. You can also
add slurs to existing notes on multiple staves at the same time and to notes in different voices
or on different staves belonging to the same instrument, for example, when phrases span both
staves of grand staff instruments.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
● Start note input.
● Select the notes to which you want to add slurs.
TIP
● If you only select a single note, the slur connects that note to the next note in
the same voice on the staff. To input slurs between notes in different voices, you
must select both notes, for example, by selecting the
rst note and then Ctrl/Cmd -
clicking the second.
● For instruments with multiple staves, such as piano and harp, you can select existing
notes on multiple staves to create cross-staff slurs. However, you cannot create
cross-staff slurs between different instruments.
● You can select notes on multiple staves to input slurs on those staves
simultaneously.
2.
Optional: If you want to input slurs onto multiple staves at once, extend the caret to those
staves.
3.
Press S .
TIP
Alternatively, click Slur in the Notes panel, and then click and drag to input a slur and extend
it to your preferred length.
NOTE
If you added slurs to existing notes, stop here.
