Check with your teacher on the best way to do a slur. Wind/brass instruments it often means that you don’t tongue between notes. In bowed strings, like violin, it typically means to keep the bow going in the same direction. On piano, do not lift the finger of the first note until you go to play the 2nd note. How this is done depends on your instrument. Slurs mean to play the notes legato, or to put it into English – play the notes smoothly, connected or without any silence between the notes. Phrase – a musical idea, often indicated with a slur line over/under many notes or more often, many measures. Tie – curved line connecting the *same* note(s) immediately next to one another. Slurs – curved line over/under two or more *different* notes. As a long time piano teacher, I find many students, even advanced players get confused.

In Finale, you can use the mouse alone once you are used to the double-click-and-drag behaviour. Add the slurs with one hand on the mouse in MuseScore and Sibelius, keep the other hand on your keyboard near shift (for selection) and s (for creating the slurs). Slurs are best added as a separate pass once you have the notes. (For additional details on keyboard-based note entry, see How do I efficiently write sheet music on my computer? and What does typing sheet music on my keyboard look like?) It is possible to type ties fully from the keyboard while entering the notes. Having looked at the differences between ties and slurs, you may have also noticed a distinction in when to enter them. Or, drag the control points of a selected slur to change its shape. This will also reveal the f keyboard shortcut. With a slur selected, go to the “SmartShape” menu and select “Direction” → “Flip” to flip it. Finale with one slur selected and others showing their selection squares
