How do you place ties on all notes at once?

Is there a way to put ties (or slurs) on an entire measure full of notes? Tie them all together with one action (rather than going through and doing it individually, note by note)?

Thanks.

They are two different things. Ties are from one note to another note OF THE SAME PITCH, indicating that the note is held for the combined value. So they have to go note-to-note.

A slur indicates phrasing. You double click and hold on the first note, drag to the last note, and release.

Thanks, miker.

For slurs: when you double-click and hold the first note, which icon needs to be selected in order for the dragging to result in a slurred phrase?

Would it be the Smart Shape Tool?

You are correct. It's the Smart Shape slur.
