You can work out which notes are slurred by the coordinates. The endpoint of
the slur tells you the position of the last note to be slurred.
You can also press Space or Shift + Space to extend or retract the right end
of the slur by one note at a time. Each time you do this you'll hear the new
start and end points of the slur.
One thing to bare in mind is that slurs are a special kind of line. Some
lines can have start and end points which don't line up exactly with the
notes they are above, hairpins are a good example because the end point will
have a rhythmic position that coincides with the note that comes after the
hairpin. EG: if you have four quarters in a bar, select three of them and
press "H" then a hairpin will be added from quarter 1 to quarter 4. The end
point of 4 indicates that the hairpin goes right up to the end of the third
note, almost as though it is just touching the fourth note.
Slurs don't work like this. The end point is the position of the last note
that is actually slurred. So if you followed the example above but pressed
"S" to add a slur instead of "H", then the slur would have an endpoint of 3
not 4.

The slur goes from the first to the last note of your selection.

Hi,
I have a question that may seem like a beginner's question, but it's simply
that this detail drifted from my memory. When you select a passage and put
a slur over it,is the last note of the selection slurred to the next one
which you haven't selected or does the slur finish at the last note of your
selection?
Cheers
