All slurs can be repositioned by dragging their ends. To adjust the curve of a slur, click and hold on the curved part of the slur and drag to adjust the apex of the curve. Ties can be adjusted in the same manner. Place articulation marks and slurs into the flute, oboe and clarinet parts as shown in figure four. Expression text is used for text that gives expressive directions such as legato and for dynamics.
Technique text is for technical instructions such as 'pizzicato'.
All expression text is in italics, as it would standardly be in a printed score. Click on the page at the place that the text will start and either type the required directions, use a keyboard shortcut to enter a dynamic marking or right-click to bring up a word list . Click on some text from the list to place it on the page. Expression text is attached to a specific stave, which is usually the stave above the text. Sibelius shows a dotted blue line on the screen linking the text to the stave when the text is selected.
