Lengthening a note by gluing two notes together

You can create unusual note length values by gluing notes of the same pitch together.

Procedure

  1. Insert the notes that you want to glue together (if they do not already exist).
  2. Select the Glue tool on the toolbar or context menu.
  3. Click on the first note.

    This note is now tied to the first following note with the same pitch.

    Important

    Make sure that you have Display Quantize values for notes and rests that allow you to display notes of the created note value.

  4. If you want to glue more notes, click again.

    By gluing together a quarter note, an eighth note and a sixteenth note, you get a double dotted quarter note.
