Inputting cross-staff and cross-voice slurs

You can input cross-staff and cross-voice slurs. For example, musical phrases in grand staff instruments, such as piano and harp, can span both staves and may need slurs to join them.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the note from which you want the slur to start, in any voice or staff.
  2. Ctrl/Cmd-click the note where you want the slur to end, in any voice and on any staff belonging to the same instrument as the note in step 1.
    Note

    Only select those two notes.

  3. Press S.

Result

A cross-voice or cross-staff slur is input spanning the select notes. It is placed either above or below the notes, depending on the stem direction of the notes within the selection.

After Completing This Task

You can change the curvature direction of individual slurs.
