. Click on, above, or below the note in question. The Articulation Selection dialog box appears.An articulation is a symbol used to tell the player how a particular note is to be played: an accent, staccato mark, or harmonic symbol, for example. You can apply these markings either one note at a time, or to a whole group of notes at once. PrintMusic will automatically center the markings and place them the proper distance from the noteheads; you’ll even hear their effect on the music when you play it back.
An articulation must be attached to a note (or a rest); you can’t insert one into an empty measure. The marking maintains its position relative to that note, even if you transpose it; in fact, the symbol will automatically flip to the opposite side of the note if the stem changes direction, and even switch to a different symbol if the new stem direction warrants (as when a fermata symbol flips upside-down).
