PreSonus Notion 6 - Notation Software (Boxed) - Manual (Page 258)

These sounds are opposites . A light palm mute dramatically shortens the ring after striking a note, giving the note a
somewhat staccato tone . A let ring permits a note or chord to resonate beyond the written duration, the same effect as a
Pedal Down (
) or Laissez Vibrare (L .V .) mark .
Palm Mute
Notion supports a palm mute you can add to guitars and electric bass .
1 . Either:
> Press the keyboard shortcut of the M key once, or
> In the Entry Palette, hover over the fourth pane from the left and select .
2 . Position the Music Cursor at the first note affected and either press Enter or click your mouse and release .
3 . Move your cursor to the right (don’t drag) until you reach the last note affected .
4 . Either press Enter or click your mouse to place the mark .
◙ Eighth notes muted.
Also, a shorter, far less sonorous type of left hand mute for a guitar or bass is available
by placing notes on the notation staff that have an x-shaped notehead .
Let Ring
The Let Ring mark instructs the player and Notion playback to permit the notes or chords affected to
resonate beyond their written duration, up to a point marked by the end of the symbol’s tail .
1 . Either:
> Press the keyboard shortcut of the M key twice , or
> In the Entry Palette, hover over the fourth pane from the left and select .
2 . Position the Music Cursor where resonation should start and either press Enter or click your mouse and release .
