You can manually group playing techniques together that were not automatically grouped when they were input. Grouped playing techniques are automatically aligned in a row, show transition lines between them, and can be moved and edited as a group.

Note

You cannot group a playing technique group to another playing technique group, you can only group single playing techniques together or single playing techniques to an existing group.

If you want to group a playing technique group to another playing technique group, you must first ungroup them.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the playing techniques you want to group together.
  2. Choose Edit > Notations > Playing Techniques > Group Playing Techniques. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The selected playing techniques are grouped together. Their durations are extended to reach the next playing technique in the group, and transition lines are shown between playing techniques in the group. Each transition line in the group uses the appropriate line type defined for the playing technique at the start of the line in the Edit Playing Techniques dialog.
