Inserting Articulations

Inserting Articulations

You can add articulations from expressions maps to one or several selected notes.

Procedure

On the Symbols tab, open the Expression Map section.
Activate the articulation symbol, and click at the desired position in the note display.

Note
If you hold down Alt/Opt while inserting a symbol to one staff in a grand staff, this symbol is inserted at corresponding positions on all staves.

The articulation symbols inserted in the note display are shown in a different color so that you can distinguish them from other score symbols.

Note

You can view and change the colors in the Preferences dialog (Scores—Colors for Additional Meanings page).
You can hide articulation symbols from the score by opening the Score Settings dialog (Project–Notation Style page) and activating Hide Expression Map Symbols in the Miscellaneous category.
