Inputting playing techniques with the panel

You can input playing techniques using the Playing Techniques panel, both during step input and by adding them to existing notes.

Note

These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference of Create item at selection.

If you want to add the same playing technique to multiple notes, activate Allow multiple items to be created with the mouse in the Editing section of the General page in Preferences, so that you do not have to reselect the playing technique for each note.

Procedure

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

    • Start note input.

    • Select an existing note to which you want to add a playing technique.

      Note

      You can only add playing techniques to one note at a time.

  2. In the Notations toolbox, click Playing Techniques.

    The Playing Techniques panel opens on the right of the window.

  3. In the Playing Techniques panel, click the playing technique you want.

Result

The playing technique selected is added to the selected note.

During step input, playing techniques are input at the caret position, even if your preference is set to Load cursor with item.
