Project-wide engraving options for slurs

You can find options for the project-wide appearance, position, and placement of slurs on the Slurs page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Slurs page allow you to change the direction, style, height, and thickness of slurs. You can also set precise values for the positions of slurs relative to noteheads, stems, grace notes, and ties, and change the collision avoidance behavior of cross-staff slurs.

There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.

You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.

  • Choose Engrave > Engraving Options in Engrave mode.

You can then click Slurs in the page list on the left of the dialog.
