You will probably use the articulation tool from
N
the Simple Entry mode and then you can use
the * key at the numeric keyboard. It is handy,
because the positions I-X are assigned with
numbers. If you go to the Articulation tool
without a single note selected, you have to click
on a note and then select the symbol from a list
which I find tedious.
