Drawing the slur/tie

Procedure

  1. Set the Quantize value depending on the positions of the two notes that the slur/tie should span.

    For example, if one of them is at a quarter note position and the other at an eighth note position, set Quantize to 1/8 note or a smaller note value.

  2. Click on the correct slur/tie in the Symbols Inspector, so that the Draw tool is selected.
  3. Position the mouse close to the first note and drag to a position close to the second note.

    The end points of the slur/tie snap to their default positions – holding down Ctrl/Cmd allows you to move the end points freely.

    There are two special functions for inserting a slur or tie that automatically spans from one note to another.
