Inputting vibrato bar dips with the popover

You can input vibrato bar dips using the ornaments popover, both during note input and by adding them to existing music.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, do one of the following:

    • Start note input.

    • Select an item on each staff at the rhythmic position where you want to input a vibrato bar dip.

  2. Optional: During note input, if you want to input notes and notations onto multiple staves, extend the caret to those staves.
  3. Open the ornaments popover in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-O.

    • In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers Popovers button, then Ornaments Ornaments button.

  4. Enter vibdip into the popover.

  6. Optional: During note input, input a note or press Space to advance the caret and input the vibrato bar dip.

Result

During note input, vibrato bar dips are input at the caret position on all staves across which the caret extends.

Vibrato bar dips added to existing music are input on each selected staff, at the rhythmic position of the earliest selected either note or item, according to your item input position setting.

By default, vibrato bar dips have half step intervals, are placed above the staff, and only appear on notation staves, not tablature.
