What it does
The Smart Shape menu allows you to flip the direction of slurs.
- Shape Direction: Flip • Automatic • Over • Under. PrintMusic makes intelligent decisions about slur direction, based on whether the attached notes are above or below the middle staff line. When you transpose music or change the key, slur directions are automatically changed, without requiring any action on your part. However, there will be times when you’ll probably want to change the direction of individual slurs that are attached to notes. This you can easily do using the Direction submenu:
- Flip the currently selected slur;
- place a selected slur Over the entries;
- place the slur Under the entries;
- or use Automatic placement.
