Playing techniques
The term playing techniques covers a wide range of instructions intended to tell performers to modify the sound of the notes they are playing, for example, by changing their embouchure or changing the position of their bow, or by modifying their instrument, such as adding a mute or depressing a pedal.
Custom playing techniques
Custom playing techniques allow you to represent any playing technique in any way you want, for example, if the default glyph used for a particular playing technique is not the one to which you or the players reading the music are accustomed.
Saving custom playing techniques as default
