Hammer-ons and pull-offs are common techniques used in various genres . These two techniques are opposites: In a
hammer-on you jump from an open string onto a fretted note; in a pull-off you jump off a fretted note to an open string .
Notion uses small letters (H and P) to notate these performance techniques on both notation and Tab staves .
The role of these sounds in Notion are primarily as accentuators in the context of short time-value notes that have an
open string followed by a fretted note (for an H) or a fretted note followed by an open string (for a P) right in the notation .
For two distinct note sounds, use grace notes .
A hammer-on and pull-off at the end of a beamed phrase.
In Edit mode, place the mark on your Music Cursor in any of the following ways:
Technique Entry Palette Keyboard Shortcut Express Entry
Hammer-on N once ‘
+ h
Pull-off N twice
‘
+ pu or po
Position your Music Cursor at the note affected (have the destination note notated) and either click your mouse or press
Enter .
You can also write a slur into the staff, and it will show automatically in tab . If you are only showing tablature, then you
can write slurs directly onto tablature . Use Shift+S, click the first note, then the last note of the desired slur .
