<p>Um, I was able to make it work. I didn't do anything special, I simply clicked on the slur and hit X, which flips it from bottom to top.</p>

<p>I think the siglia is preventing the slur position. It will not allow the two to overlap. Because the software is totally modifiable, you may discover a method to shorten the stem length and/or move them out of the way...but I have no idea just how one would do that.</p>

<p>I'm a geek! I love learning the nomenclature "rhythm siglia"...thank you!</p>
<p>15th cent banjo tab...wow! ;-)</p>
<p>Don't modern publishers require the tab siglia to be down? For me, having the flags down helps me with the snap and slur text (which I like above the tab). The cool thing is that it is just a button push to flip the flags. Easy peasy.</p>

<p>Musescore is really just another learning curve. No different than any other program, I found that the deeper I got, the deeper it got. Almost all of my notational/tab needs are covered by it in some form or fashion.</p>
<p>I have found that Musescore likes to build scores/tab in a certain way. Sometimes getting operations out of order can cause you to have to almost totally reset everything.<br/> <br/> <cite>Rob MacKillop said:</cite></p>
