Please help with "tie" notes ... Strange behavior!
Hi!
I saw in the documentation that "+" will create a tie after a note.
I am currently composing a song and it worked perfectly for a bit, but now whenever I go to tie a note, the program creates ANOTHER note of the same duration to tie it to.
For example, I want a quarter note tied to an eighth note. I place the quarter note, press "+" and it just creates another quarter note!
If I create the quarter note and then the eight note and then hover over the quarter note and press "+", it also creates another note ... ??? Please help; thanks!

If you are in note entry mode (check the bottom right of your screen) then to enter a quarter and eight tied, you need to press 5 C 4 + that will create a C quarter note, then you select the duration of the next note and press +.
If you want to tie two existing notes, you need to go out of note entry mode, Press N or Esc and then click on the note you want to tie, and press +. Only the tie will be added.
If two notes have the same height using (legatura di valore)

For two different notes using the first symbol in the palette "lines" (legatura di portamento):

I closed musescore and re-opened and then it worked. Fingers crossed!
