Articulation tool 
Use this tool to enter one-character articulation markings (such as accents, staccato marks, fermatas, and so on) into your score. You attach an articulation to a single note in a single staff (by clicking on, above, or below it); if the note moves, the articulation moves with it.
Special mouse clicks
- Click on, above, or below a note or rest that doesn't have an articulation attached to display the Articulation Selection box, from which you can select an articulation marking you want to insert.
- Drag-enclose a region to apply an articulation to every note.
- Click or shift-click articulation handles to select one (or additional) articulations, respectively.
- Drag a selected handle to move all selected articulations; press delete to remove them.
- Click a note whose articulations' handles are visible to display the Articulation Selection dialog box, from which you can select an additional articulation to attach to the same note.
