How can I edit a slur between notes ? I am still trying to use this software. That would be great if anybody can help me to solve this problem.

A slur is not the same as a tie. A slur groups two or more notes in a musical phrase. A tie joins two notes so that the duration of the first note extends to include the duration of the second note.

I assume you are interested in editing ties.

To add a tie between two notes, the second note much be located at exactly the end of the as-notated duration of the first note, and it must have the same pitch. Select the first note by clicking it with the mouse. Then choose the Add Tie command in the Note menu, or hit the "=" key
(or "t", I forget, because it will be "t" in the new Composer).
