I want to add an arbitrary duplicate slur to a score in Finale 26 for Windows. Finale knows each voice needs only one slur at a time, but I want to add an arbitrary second slur to a voice anyway. Just to be clear, the duplicate slur is a true duplicate, beginning and ending on the same beats as the first slur, but on different notes of a piano "voice."

How do I do this?

Draw the slur. Finale will enter it over the first one. Click to select it, and flip the slur.

After you click on the square handle to select the slur, you can grab the diamond-shaped handles which appear and drag them to different noteheads if you want.

Ctrl-F flips the slur if it's selected.
