Title: Slurred Chord
Post by: lanamm97 on 2017-03-11 08:32 pm
Is there any way to slur all elements of a chord?  I have a two-note chord in bass clef in which both notes slur differently into the next chord.  How do I get both notes to have a slur connecting them?

short answer: you don't.  The slur affects ALL elements of the chord and individual slur markings are unnecessary.

long answer: you could use layers and show the slurs separately on each layer.

... or insert an object that draws the slur, i.e. Slur.ms.nwcuser or SlurCubic.ms.nwcuser.

Something like this:

Oh, I see!  Have never used layers before; I see it's something to play with!  Just easier/clearer for singing tenor and bass notes if the slur appears for both notes.  Thanks!
