PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the two notes you want to join with a glissando line.
For example, select a grace note and a normal note, two notes in different voices, or two
notes on different staves belonging to the same instrument.
2. Press Shift-O to open the ornaments popover.
3. Enter the appropriate entry for the glissando line you want into the popover.
● Enter gliss for a straight glissando line.
● Enter glisswavy for a wavy glissando line.
4.
Press Return to close the popover.
RESULT
The glissando line specied is input between the selected notes.
NOTE
●
If you select a single note and input a glissando line, the glissando line specied starts from
the selected note and ends at the next note in the same voice on the staff, even if this
crosses rests.
● Glissando lines do not automatically adjust around any notes or rests between the selected
notes. If glissando text is shown, the text can collide with notes or rests, in which case we
recommend that you make further adjustments, such as not showing glissando text for that
glissando line.
● By default, glissando line text is hidden on staves belonging to fretted instruments. However,
you can show glissando line text manually.
