Steps to reproduce:
1. Tie one or more notes between measure 1 and 2.
2. Add a time signature change to measure 2.

Result: The tie(s) between measure 1 and 2 disappears.

Bug occurs in:
2.0.2

Comments

Confirmed. Ties are preserved *within* the region affected by the time signature, but any ties *into* that region from the previous measure are lost.

Slurs leading into the region are also handled poorly, reattaching to some pretty arbitrary place further into the score - might not even be a note (I got it to attach to barline in one case!)

I tested a whole note in 4/4 time tied to another whole note in 4/4 or 6/4 time. I tested in version 2.0.2 per the original bug report.

Ties are removed if I remove an explicit time signature from the second measure. This happens even when I remove a redundant 4/4 signature, which does not change the underlying timekeeping.

Ties are removed if I add a 6/4 signature.

Ties are NOT removed if I add a redundant 4/4 signature.

I hope this information helps you track down the problem.
