This guide provides instructions on how to use the in-line template feature to quickly insert templates while typing in chart notes and other text fields within Suno.

Overview

The in-line template feature allows you to insert templates directly while typing using a simple forward-slash / shortcut. This feature is designed to streamline your charting process and save time during documentation.

Prerequisites

  • Active templates configured in your Suno system.

Using In-Line Templates

Quick Template Insertion with Forward-slash

  1. Begin typing your chart note or documentation as normal.

  2. When you want to insert a template, press the forward-slash / key.
    ​

    1. Tip: You can also continue to type in the template name such as /chartnote to narrow down your selection.
      ​

  3. A dropdown menu will appear showing all available templates.

  4. Select the desired template from the list.

  5. The template will be inserted at your cursor position.

Important Notes About Forward-slash Usage

The forward-slash shortcut is intelligent and will only trigger the template menu when used alone:

  • Will trigger templates: Pressing / by itself

  • Will NOT trigger templates:

    • Using / for fractions (e.g., "3/4" for three-fourths).

    • Using / followed immediately by numbers or letters.

    • Using / as part of other text formatting.

This ensures normal forward-slash usage is not interrupted by the template feature.

Multiple Template Insertion

Accessing Compose Template Mode

  1. Click the Templates button in your text editor.

  2. Toggle on Compose Template Mode.
    ​

  3. You can now insert multiple templates in sequence.

Working with Multiple Templates

  1. Insert Templates: Select multiple templates to add them to your composition area.

  2. Edit Content: The composition area remains editable - you can make changes to the combined template content before inserting.

  3. Clear Templates: Use the Clear button to clear all inserted templates and start fresh.
    ​

  4. Insert Final Content: Once satisfied with your multi-template composition, insert it directly into your chart note.

Benefits

  • Time Savings: Quickly access templates without navigating away from your typing.

  • Workflow Efficiency: Maintain focus on documentation while easily inserting standardized content.

  • Flexibility: Combine multiple templates and edit them before final insertion.

  • Non-Intrusive: Normal backslash usage remains unaffected.

Best Practices

  • Use single templates via forward-slash / for quick, individual insertions.

  • Use Compose Template Mode when you need to combine multiple templates.

  • Edit and customize template content in the composition area before final insertion.

  • Take advantage of the editable nature of inserted templates to personalize content.
