When you choose an EWQL instrument in the Score editor, which articulation for this instrument is loaded by default ?

Have you read throught the "EWQL and Notion 3 FAQ" thread at the top of the message board?

The search function IS your friend.......PLEASE use it.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the answer...
I read something about master keyswictch, but it doesn't answer to my question which is : when I click on "violin" (for example), which sound will I hear if I write an simple note on the staff ? Legato, QL, Sus, Lyrical or something else ?
May be is it the first in the list ? (but I'm no sure, that's my problem)

THe "lite" patches are the master keyswictch. What you hear depends on your notation. If you open the Paly intereface, you'll see the loaded articulations.

Why don't you load an instrument, write a few notes, and see what comes out.

Yes, I know, but what is the articulation loaded if I specify nothing special ?
Is it the first one in the keyswitch list in the Play interface ?

Ok, but It's not a natural way of working for me
I give you an example : I want to start an allegro vivace for violin. I Choose violin in Notion then I write some measures. When I click the play button, I notice that Notion has choosed a "slow (long)" articulation (and I don't know which one). So I want to change for a "fast (short)" articulation (I wont write dots to specify a short note, or to specify a pizz or things like that) which fits better what I wrote (the whole thing, not specific notes).
And I don't know how to do that

The most concrete way to see what sounds you have at your disposal is to open the play instance in Notion and compare the sounds used to the rules file associated with that particular instrument. There are too many caveats to properly answer your question in a forum thread.

The first rule of digital music production is to know your gear. Your question falls under this heading, and it's better for you to dig around for yourself so you can better understand how Notion is organized and best utilized.

I guess that my question should be unclear.
So, I try to reformulate it :
When I choose an instrument, is there a way to specify the default articulation ? (the one used when I do not add any interpretation mark).
For example, to have the "lyric violin" loaded by default for the violin.
