6.2 Extended Hammer-on/Pull-off
+
Legato
Normally hammer-on and pull-off are triggered by playing an inter-
val of one or two notes up or down legato with the previously held
note. However, it is possible to use the same articulations for larger
intervals. To do this, activate Extended Hammer-on / Pull-off mode
by pressing the F#0 key switch.
For example if you play A1, hold it pressed and then play E2 while
holding the F#0 key switch pressed the E2 will be played as a
whole-note hammer-on on the same string as the A1 even though
the interval is a fth.
Please note that the extended mode affects the automatic string
selection—the script will try to stay on the same string even if the
target note is not near the current playing position.

The articulations with two alternations are sustains, mutes, harmonics, fast grace notes
and release samples.
6.3 Cross Hammering
+
You can get cross hammering by combining a string key switch
with the extended hammer-on/pull-off mode described above.
When this key switch combination is activated you no longer have
to play legato to trigger a hammer-on. Instead, any note will trigger
a whole-note hammer-on.
Let’s say you want to cross hammer E2 on the A string. In order to
do this, hold the E0 and F#0 key switches pressed (E string + ex-
tended mode), and then play E2 on the keyboard.
