This is the difference between ties and slurs. If you want the orangs ones to look like the green ones, use slurs instead of ties (and loose the capabilitly to move the tied notes syncronously)

@Jojo-Schmitz that would only fix the visual problem, but result in a wrong melody.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new sheet (haha)
2. Create a whole Gb
3. Change the key of the next measure to G Major
4. Select the Gb and create a tie

Hope that's correct. See the screenshot otherwise, to see what I mean.
In the second measure, there's now a G instead of a Gb/F#. This is a visual issue only.

No, you are tying a Gb over into another bar, so the Gb continues. Perhaps the insertion of a courtesy accidental would help. Personally I have seen this type of tie in a male choral piece doing this type of key change, but it did tie from a flat to a #, same note on different lines. This correct notation would be the same as in your second example.

Status (old) needs info active

Why do you mean by "No"? You're describing the problem exactly. I set the status to "active" again as I think there are enough information now.

"Why do you mean by "No"?"

As I said, you are tying a Gb into another bar, hence it is still a Gb (now F# in the new key). But...

"In the second measure, there's now a G instead of a Gb/F#. This is a visual issue only."

This is where I think you are wrong, and I said "no". It shows a G, but it is a Gb because of the tie. A courtesy accidental would help things here. Maybe it doesn't play that way in MS (and that would be a bug), but that's how I would read it when singing or playing. However, I do agree that the second example would be the _correct_ way to show it.
