Is there a dotted/broken slur?

Sometimes I want to connect notes with a dotted/broken slur signifying it only applies to some of the verses of underlying text. But I can't find that symbol. Thanks. (I have adjusted the lyrics so they line up correctly/differently from verse to verse.)

There's no native support for dotted slurs. If you're using ver. 2.75, though, you can draw a dotted slur with Mike's "slur.ms" user object. If you don't already have this object, you can find it in the "object plugins" subsection of the "tips and tricks" section of this forum. Be aware that it doesn't affect the sound.

FanTAStic! It was already in the Objects menu. Thank you!

If you want to affect the sound, the @ key before a note lets you suppress triplet, slurs, and other markings so you can use other visual tools.
