Find (Ctrl+F) "Tenuto", "Staccato" and "Slur"

Hi!
How do I use the find-command to find "Tenuto", "Staccato" or "Slur"?
Kind regards

First, select any note which matches your criteria and copy it to the clipboard. Go back to the front of the staff where you want to search and Cntrl/F. In the "By Expression" window, paste from the clipboard and you will get something like this:

|Note|Duration:Eighth,Tenuto|PitchPos:C 5@6|Visibility:Default

Attributes you are not interested in (or will take anything) should be replaced with an asterisk:

|Note|Duration:*,Tenuto|PitchPos:*|Visibility:*

You may have to go back and redo this looking for a Chord instead of a Note.

Hi!
It sounds difficult. "First, select any note which matches your criteria". - It sounds like a joke.
I want to find one (only one) single special note. How do I do it? You find it and copy it into clipboard!

Not too difficult.

If you don't have a convenient example of what you want to find already in the score then just enter one temporarily - i.e. a note with with a tenuto mark/staccato mark or slur - then cut (rather than copy) and paste to the find dialogue and edit as Warren says.
