  • Hammer-on's and pull-off's are very simple legato techniques that provide a different way to play two notes while only picking one note. Hammering on and pulling off repeatedly is whats known as a Trill. For more information on this take a look at Trilling.
  • In electronic music, this term has a specific meaning: it means to press a note or notes before letting up previous notes, such that there is no time at which no note on the keyboard is being pressed (or the equivalent in MIDI, in which note on messages are sent for new notes before note off messages are sent for previous notes). Some synths have specific playing modes which react to legato playing; for example, a common portamento mode is that portamento occurs when playing legato but not when playing staccato.
  • Borrowed from Italian legato, past participle of legare, meaning "to tie", "to tie up", "to tie together", or "to bind", learned borrowing from Latin ligare.
  • Legato is a musical term derived from Italian. Sheet music with this term printed indicates that the music should be played smoothly and continuously without sharp obstructions and abrupt pauses.
