Changing the curvature direction of slurs

You can change the curvature direction of individual slurs so that they curve upwards, downwards, or have a multi-segment S-shape, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

  1. Select the slurs whose curvature direction you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Direction in the Slurs group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Up

    • Down

    • Up/Down (mirrored S-shape)

    • Down/Up (S-shape)

Result

The curvature direction of the selected slurs is changed.

Tip

  • You can adjust the precise shapes of slurs, and each slur segment, in Engrave mode using the handles on each slur.

  • You can change the default curvature direction behavior of all slurs project-wide on the Slurs page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
