Playing back slurred notes as one.

2007-09-24 10:10 am

Is there any way to get slurred notes (same pitch) to play back (in MIDI) as one extended note--as you would do on an instrument?

I'm training a choir and we have no instruments with us, so I'm playing back the MIDI on my phone to teach them the new tune, then we sing following the music a capella.

Hi matta,

I think what you want is a TIE, not a SLUR when you want to join note in this fashion. Just replace the slur with a tie (keyboard shortcut "/") and it should playback as one extended note. (There’s probably a way to replace all eligible slurs with ties, but I have no idea how you would do that)

Thanks one and all; I found the solution. Tied and slurred notes now working as one would expect!
