To create a tab slide

1. Click the Smart Shape Tool  . The Smart Shape Palette appears.
2. Click the Tab Slide Tool  . Move the cursor until the tiny arrow points to the starting note.
3. Double-click where you want the tab slide to begin; on the second click, hold the button down and drag diagonally. Release the mouse when the tab slide has the length and angle you want.

To create a tab slide between two consecutive notes, just double-click the mouse on the first note. Finale places the tab slide on the adjacent notes.

If the Smart Line Selection dialog box appears, you may need to create a tab slide. See Custom lines for creating Custom Line Smart Shapes.
