Changing the position of slurs relative to tie chains

You can change the position of individual slurs relative to tie chains, including slurs starting on grace notes, for example, to save vertical space.

Prerequisite

If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. Select the slurs whose position relative to tie chains you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Slurs group:
    • Start pos. in tie chain

    • End pos. in tie chain

  3. Choose one of the following options for each property:
    • First note

    • Last note

Result

The position of the selected slurs relative to tie chains is changed.

Tip

You can change the default position of all slurs relative to tie chains project-wide on the Slurs page in Engrave > Engraving Options. There are different options for slurs between normal notes and slurs starting on grace notes.
