Slurs
Slurs are tapered, curved lines that join notes to indicate legato articulation and phrasing.
Slur segments
A standard slur consists of one segment. You can make more elaborate shapes with slurs with multiple segments, for example, to allow you to create more complex slur shapes than are possible with a single curved segment.
Changing the number of segments in individual slurs
You can change the number of segments in individual slurs, for example, to allow you to create slurs with unusual shapes.

Changing the number of segments in individual slurs

You can change the number of segments in individual slurs, for example, to allow you to create slurs with unusual shapes.

Procedure

In Engrave mode, select the slurs whose number of segments you want to change.
In the Properties panel, activate Number of segments in the Slurs group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

Increasing the value increases the number of slur segments. Decreasing the value decreases the number of slur segments.

After Completing This Task

You can adjust the shape of slur segments in more detail using their handles.

Note

Handles on multi-segment slurs are connected to the corresponding type of handle on adjacent segments. Moving handles causes any connected handles to move the same amount in the opposite direction.
