Groups of playing techniques
Groups of playing techniques are automatically aligned in a row and can be moved and edited
as a group. When you move individual playing techniques within a group, the lengths of any
continuation lines on either side automatically adjust to compensate.
A group of playing techniques The same group of playing techniques with adjusted
transition lines after the middle playing technique
moved rhythmically
Two or more playing techniques are automatically grouped together if they are adjoining with
duration between them and were added to existing notes together or input in sequence during
note input.
Transition lines are automatically shown between playing techniques in groups. The nal playing
technique in playing technique groups can show a duration line if it has duration.
All of the playing techniques in a group are highlighted when any of the playing techniques in
the group are selected.
NOTE
● You cannot group a playing technique group to another playing technique group, you can
only group single playing techniques together or single playing techniques to an existing
group.
● Groups of playing techniques apply project-wide, meaning you cannot have playing
techniques grouped one way in some layouts but differently in other layouts.
