Inputting ties between non-adjacent notes

You can manually input ties between notes of the same pitch that are not rhythmically adjacent. You can also input ties between notes of the same pitch in different voices and different staves.

For example, you might have input a melody across multiple voices in order to accommodate passing notes, but want to tie two notes together even though they are in different voices. Similarly, you might have written multiple notes before a chord that are all held down and want to reduce the number of tied notes.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the two notes that you want to tie together.
    Note

    The second note must be the same pitch as the first note. If the second note is a different pitch to the first note, no tie is input.

  2. Press T.

Result

A tie is input between the two selected notes.
