I’ve found that the Tab key is a convenient way to move between slurs and notes. However, when a slur spans a triplet, pressing Tab seems to jump to the triplet number rather than to the notes themselves.
Slur highlighted:
After pressing Tab, the triplet number is highlighted and not the notes:
In this situation, is there a way to navigate directly from the slur to the associated notes using Tab or another shortcut?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
From what I’ve read and from experience, Tab cycles through items occupying the same moment in time, not necessarily slur-to-note-to-slur.
I’ve just gone back to the bar I was using to illustrate the issue, and now the Tab key cycles through all elements as expected: slur, note, triplet numeral, dynamic marking.
It’s a bit of a mystery why it wasn’t including the notes earlier today while I was editing the passage, but in any case, all’s well that ends well!
TAB will cycle from a rest to other elements at the same rhythmic position, but never back to the rest – that’s always a disruption for me… try creating a triplet and deleting the first note; the selection will jump to the triplet number, but you can’t bring it back with the TAB key…
