Slurs with 2 curves, and ornaments
I am trying to notate an unmeasured prelude (harpsichord) of Louis Couperin, see attached pdf for the L'oiseau Lyre edition. The unmeasured notes can be done, but I am stuck with the slurs which do not go only in one direction, but are very elegant in two directions (see last bass-notes in first system). Is there some solution for this?
Also I cannot find the correct ornaments, see second note in second system, but especially the two cross-like ornaments further in the second system. I have checked the master palette, but I did not find them. Is there a way to add them myself?

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/slurs#adjustments for how to adjust the slur curve.
Have a look at the attached start (notes entered, slurs added to 1st measure/system. Switch "
View → Show Invisible" on for easier matching of slur endpoints with their correct position.In reply to See https://musescore.org/en… by jeetee
You are right!
Thanks very much, I had simply overlooked this possibility, very nice this way.
Does someone perhaps has some insight in the ornaments question?

You also solved the problem of the slur on the last note first system, in my version it continued to the next system, but by adding a grace not after the main note, and making it nog=t visible, there is an endpoint for this one also, clever, and again thanks!

I don't know what those ornaments are (they seem almost some fleur-de-lis).
You can always add them as images onto those notes (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/images). They won't affect playback of course, but your score will look as you want it.

In this kind of music there are an awful lot of different ornaments, this one is comparable to the modern mordent, so that one can be used, but i like to make the look as much as possible to the originals. That playback is not affected is of no importance to me, will try as images.
Thanks again!

If you want playback as well, add a "real" mordent, then turn it invisible.

Yes offcourse that is possible, but as I said before, I am not really interested in playback. Especially with this music it is nearly impossible to get a good rendition from a pc, it is very improvisatory music, not nice to hear in any mechanical way...
