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.
Erasing the background of text playing techniques
You can erase the background of individual text playing techniques, for example, to ensure they remain legible when crossing barlines.
