"You can tie two notes together either across or within a bar with a - symbol, e.g. abc-|cba or abc-cba. More general slurs can be put in with () symbols. Thus (DEFG) puts a slur over the four notes. Spaces within a slur are OK, e.g. (D E F G), but the open bracket should come immediately before a note (and its accents/accidentals, etc.) and the close bracket should come immediately after a note (and its octave marker or length). Thus (=b c'2) is OK but ( =b c'2 ) is not."

I was wondering how to tie notes and put in burrels in ABC. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Re: Quick Reminder
When editing a tune, Control-H will give you Quick Help which has more or less all commands compacted into a small window.
