Drawing the slur/tie
Procedure
- 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.
- Click on the correct slur/tie in the Symbols Inspector, so that the Draw tool is selected.
- 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.
