Slurs

• Jun 13, 2025 - 20:47

I cannot enter slurs over notes when the stems go up. The slur will go over only the first two notes, and attempts to stretch the slur further simply don't work. When stems go down, there is no problem. Please help!

Click on the first note. Shift+click on the last note. Press the S key or click the slur button on the toolbar. Dragging things does not work well in MuseScore; you should avoid it where ever possible.

Adjust Slur Settings: In Sibelius or Finale, check the slur properties and make sure it’s set to extend over all notes.

Flip Stem Direction: Change stem direction (press X in Sibelius or Ctrl+Shift+F in Finale) if needed.

Manually Adjust Slur: Grab and adjust the slur's curve to stretch over the notes.
