What is a slur?
A Slur is a curved line above or under a sequence of two or more notes. It indicates that the notes should be played in legato, meaning it should be smooth with no separation in between.
How to slur notes?
To Slur several notes, select the first music note. Then, on the Articulation toolbar, choose the slur tool. You can then extend the slur to add multiple notes inside this one with a simple drag and drop. To remove it, click on the slur then press delete.
How to change the orientation of a slur
If a slur is drawn above the staff and you would prefer that it face downward, just click on the slur and then click on the slur tool in the toolbar. You will then be able to change the orientation of the slur.
