Slurs, Crescendi
These symbols are graphic only, and have no impact on MIDI playback.
To insert a slur or crescendi object:
1 Drag it to the intended (left) starting point.
After insertion, the object remains selected, and small black square handles are visible
at its end points (or along its length, in the case of slurs).
2 Grab and drag these handles to change the object’s shape
You can also use several key commands to quickly input slurs, crescendo, and
decrescendo symbols. For details on these, and editing options, see “
Editing Slurs and
Crescendi ” on page 738.
Key Signatures
Key signatures inserted in the Score Editor (or global Signature track or Signature List)
affect all instruments on all display levels. This is reflected both visually and in MIDI
playback.
Natural symbols are automatically displayed with a new key signature, when necessary
(when changing from A flat major to F major or A major, for example).
The display of key signatures and key signature changes depends on:
 The Score project settings in the Clefs & Signatures tab (see “ Clefs & Signatures ” on
page 824).
 The Key parameter in the Staff Style window (for each staff style).
Detailed information about key signatures can be found in “ Working With Time and
Key Signatures ” on page 755.
