Common accents can be added to a note using a dash (`-
') and a
single character
c-. c-- c-> c-^ c-+ c-_
Similarly, fingering indications can be added to a note using a dash
(`-
') and the digit to be printed
c-3 e-5 b-2 a-1
Dynamic signs are made by adding the markings (with a backslash) to the note
c\ff c\mf
Crescendi and decrescendi are started with the commands \<
and
\>
. An ending dynamic, for example \f
, will finish the
crescendo, or the command \!
can be used
c2\< c2\ff\> c2 c2\!
A slur is a curve drawn across many notes, and indicates legato
articulation. The starting note and ending note are marked with a
“(
” and a “)
” respectively
d4( c16)( cis d e c cis d e)( d4)
A slur looks like a tie, but it has a different meaning. A tie simply makes the first note sound longer, and can only be used on pairs of notes with the same pitch. Slurs indicate the articulations of notes, and can be used on larger groups of notes. Slurs and ties are also nested in practice
Slurs to indicate phrasing can be entered with \(
and
\)
, so you can have both legato slurs and phrasing slurs at the
same time.
