## 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](https://handbook.musescore.org/customization/preferences#shortcuts) 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)](https://handbook.musescore.org/text/chord-symbols#navigation-commands).
4. To exit, press <kbd>Esc</kbd>, or click on a blank section of the score.
