Notation reference
Rhythm slashes
Rhythm slashes are diagonal lines positioned on staves that are used to indicate that performers should play something, but without specifying the exact rhythms and pitches. They are often accompanied by chord symbols to indicate the set of notes the performer should use.
Slash regions
Slash regions automatically display rhythm slashes as appropriate for the meter throughout their duration, for example, they show four slashes per bar in 4/4 and two slashes per bar in 6/8. A single slash region can extend across multiple different meters.
Hiding/Showing slash region highlights
You can hide/show the colored highlights for slash regions at any time, for example, if you want to show the highlights when inputting music but hide them when engraving.
