Adding ties to chords (0.9.4 regression)
There is an issue in 0.9.5 when adding ties whilst in Note Input mode. This shows in particular when adding ties between chords.
Scenario 1: A single note G to be tied to a following note G of a simple G - B chord. Select the single G and enter Note Input mode (this is slightly artificial in this way but it kept tripping me up when writing). Press or select + to add a tie. The tie is not entered and the G is stepped over. Press or select + again and the tie is entered but the B is deleted.
Curiously, if the first G in the scenario above is the first note of the piece, then nothing happens.
Scenario 2: Same as above, but both notes to be tied have chord notes. In this case when + is selected the first time the chord notes are deleted. This probably gives a clue as to why the first press of + above steps over the note.

You can add a tie to chords if you leave note entry mode.

Whether or not new facilities are added, the original bug should be fixed. It seems to be the same one I might describe as follows:
1. enter a pitch, hit key to create tie
2. go back and add a pitch to first chord, enter another tie
Result: first tie is deleted. Also, no way to select multiple notes and create a tie for all at once. Only way to get ties on whole chord is to manually create both chords then tie notes one at a time.
fixed in r4305. Whole chords can be tied by selecting all notes or the chord stem and then click "+".
The fix in trunk introduced some side effect. It's not possible anymore to add notes to a chord with Shift + notename.
I ported the fix (hopefully without the side effect...) in the branch. Thanks !
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
This must have been fixed somewhere between 4305 and 4348 because I can add notes using shift into a chord in the nightly 4348.

You just helped me learn a new word. However, I don't hold different attitudes towards old or new tickets, if the tags need correction, I correct them.
