4. During note input, input the notes you want.
The slur extends automatically, even if there are rests between the notes you input.
5.
During note input, press Shift-S to end the slur on the currently selected note.
RESULT
During note input, slurs begin from the currently selected note on all staves across which the
caret extends, not from the caret position. Slurs extend automatically as you input notes, and
end on the currently selected note.
When adding slurs to existing notes, the selected notes are connected by slurs. For example, if
you select two notes belonging to one instrument and two notes belonging to another, two slurs
are input connecting the notes on each selected staff. If you selected notes on different staves
belonging to the same instrument, a cross-staff slur is input.
Slurs are placed either above or below the notes, depending on the stem direction of the notes
within the selection.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
●
You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments, for example, if you
have slurs in one voice and staccatos in another voice.
●
You can change the curvature direction of individual slurs.

Inputting ngerings
You can input ngerings on existing notes using the ngerings popover, both during note input
and by adding them to existing notes.
NOTE
● You can only add ngerings to notes at one rhythmic position at a time, and you can only
input as many
ngerings as there are notes at each rhythmic position. For example, you can
input three ngerings at the rhythmic position of a chord containing three notes, but only
one
ngering at the rhythmic position of a single note.
●
If you select notes in multiple voices, ngerings are only input into the top voice.
●
Although they contain two numbers, substitution ngerings are considered one ngering,
meaning you can add substitution ngerings to single notes.
PROCEDURE
1.
In Write mode, do one of the following:
● Start note input.
● Select an existing note on a single staff to which you want to add ngering.
If you want to add ngerings to all notes in a chord, select all the notes in the chord.
