Adding nested slurs to existing notes

You can add multiple slurs to existing notes so that they appear as nested slurs.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the notes you want to include in the outer slur.
  2. Press S.
  3. Select the notes within the outer slur that you want to place under an inner slur.
  4. Press S.
  5. Optional: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other inner slurs you want.
    Note

    • You can input the outer slur and inner slurs in any order as Dorico automatically adjusts slurs so that shorter slurs are positioned within longer slurs, and makes sure they do not collide.

    • Slur collisions are not automatically avoided if you activate Disable auto curve adjustment in the Slurs group of the Properties panel for individual notes.
