Different timed notes with no ties

[Sherry C]

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

Thanks a lot! The lower upper voice was it!

I love this program and thanks for responding so quickly.

The only other things I would like to see modified (which I think are already on the to-do-list) are upward arpeggio symbols that extend from the bass clef through into the treble clef, manual ties to visibly link notes in between rests, and direct file exporting into PDF. Don't get me wrong though...I LOVE this program! It has many awesome abilities and I know that it's still a work in progress. Thanks for reading and helping.
