Or what if you’re a copyist who has received such a file from somebody else? You’ll want Roman Molino Dunn’s $13 plug-in Locate Ties Entered As Slurs, available from his store, The Music Transcriber. These topics are also covered in Lessons 1 and 3 in Avid’s Get Started Fast with Sibelius 7.5 video tutorials. My colleague Tom Rudolph has an excellent basic guide to entering ties and slurs in both Sibelius and Finale. If you enter in a tie as a slur, not only will it look and behave differently in notation software, but it will play back incorrectly. Slurs are notated on two or more notes, usually of different pitch, to make them legato, or to show phrase markings or bowings.Ties connect two or more notes of the same pitch, effectively lengthening the duration of the note.While the two items may look similar, they are in fact different, and behave differently in notation software: Occasionally when reviewing someone else’s score in Sibelius or Finale, I’ll notice that the user has incorrectly entered ties as slurs.
