sustaining notes across measures 16 years ago When I have a note with a slur to another note in the next measure, the 2nd note has an attack sound.How do I continue the sustain (without the attack sound) across the notes in the slur across to another measure? Quote Selected
Re: sustaining notes across measures Reply #2 – 16 years ago sagnet, your wording is slightly ambiguous. If you mean how do you slur 2 notes of the same pitch across a bar line then Rick has the answer. If you mean how do you prevent the 2nd note of a slur of 2 different pitches from having an attack sound, whether this is possible depends on the instrument assigned to that staff. A violin, for example, should slur the notes with no attack. But a piano will produce an attack on all slurred notes. Lawrie can confirm that the trombone cannot slur notes in the same way as a trumpet since not using the tongue would produce a portamento except for lip slurs between notes using the same slide position. Most trombone slurs are actually very softly tongued notes with a quick slide position change.You could force, say, a piano to slur notes with a Pitch Bend MPC with the slurred note's Visibility set to Never and tied to another note of the same pitch. Just don't audit bar lines in that case! Quote Selected

Pitch bend seems to be the only way to do it that is likely to work on most synths. Quote Selected

Tedious, but it sounds good on my synth.I can never quite figure out if NoteWorthy wants to be a music typesetter, sequencer or a karaoke machine, but if it could implement this as a Performance Style, it would distinguish itself as a sequencer.
