Default Re: Different timed notes with no ties

Hi,

There are typically a couple of ways you can take care of tied notes.

One is to select just the tie (not the note), and then click on the "Collapse ties" button in the Notes/Ties tool palette.

The other way is to give the different notes different "voices". For example, if you have a quarter note and a dotted quarter note on beat one and you want to make sure you don't have ties, then make the higher pitch note an 'upper voice' note and the lower one a "lower voice" note.

Hope this helps. If it doesn't answer the situation, please post a bit more detail, or the file you're working in and give us a measure/beat/note(s) indicator for digging in further.

ttfn,
Sherry
