## Sticking

To enter sticking symbols (R, L):

1. Select a start note;
2. From the menu, select `Add`→`Text`→`Sticking` (alternatively, set up a keyboard shortcut to do the same\
   thing). The cursor positions itself ready to accept your keyboard input;
3. Input the letter just as you would normal text. To move forward or backwards to the next note, see Keyboard commands (chord symbols).
4. To exit, press `Esc`, or click on a blank section of the score.
