Slurs for lyrics with one syllable over more than one note?

Is there a way to put slurs on automatically rather than going through score and creating slurs each time this occurs?
Coming from Finale where this was possible. (Have to say I would not go back to Finale now as I love Dorico…workflow much better and creating quicker)!

Do you mean an elision slur? If so, type _ (underscore) in the lyric popover, and Dorico will replace it with an elision slur.

To me it sounds like @JJmus is looking for standard melisma slurs over the notes being created automatically by scanning the connected lyrics.

Aha, in which case, no, Dorico doesn’t do this for you: you’ll need to add the slurs yourself.

Ah, OK. Yes it was melisma slurs I was wanting.

Thanks for quick replies
