Inputting ornaments with the popover

You can input ornaments using the ornaments popover, both during step input and by adding them to existing notes.

Procedure

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

    • Start note input.

    • Select a single existing note to which you want to add an ornament.

    • Select existing notes across which you want to add a trill.

      Note

      You can only add one ornament to one note at a time.

  2. Open the ornaments popover in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-O.

    • Choose Write > Create Ornament.

  3. Enter the appropriate short-hand for the ornament you want into the popover.

    For example, enter trill for a trill or mor for a mordent.

  4. Press Return to close the popover.

Result

During step input, ornaments are input at the caret position. Trills last the duration of the rhythmic value of the note input at the caret position.

When adding ornaments to existing notes, ornaments are input above the selected note. Trills are input above the first selected note, with an extender line across any subsequent selected notes.
