## Slurs

### Inserting slurs

To insert a slur make sure NtEd is in insert mode (see The 3 modes). Choose:

Insert → Slur

or press Ctrl+H.

Left click the position where the slur shall appear. A slur is created:

As you can see the slur has 3 handles. By left clicking and dragging these handles you can determine the exact slur shape:

### Modifiying slurs

Although the slur handles appear to be free replaceable, they are always assigned to a symbol. The symbol is shown by a thin light blue line:

This has consequences:

- NtEd tries to keep the position of the slur handle relative to the symbol it is assigned to;

- NtEd removes the slur if the symbol it is assigned to is removed;

To change a slur's shape make sure NtEd is in edit mode (see The 3 modes). Select the start or end of a slur with left mouse button. The 3 handles appear again:

Thus, you can change the slur's shape again by dragging the 3 handles.

### Deleting a slur

To delete a slur make sure NtEd is in edit mode (see The 3 modes). Again: You can achieve this mode temporarily by pressing the Ctrl key. Left click the start or and of a slur. The selected handle appears in red color. Press the backspace key and the slur will be deleted.
