While working on a project of mine, I noticed an issue where the ties would occasionally not work. This started when I attempted to tie three separate notes together, and the note sustained for the first two notes, however, was dispelled at the very last note. This issue has proved to be a very annoying feature and could hinder the quality of the sound of the score if uploaded in the future. I then replicated the glitch when I attempted to tie two chords together (they were the same chord, just on different beats).

I then replicated the glitch when I attempted to tie two chords together (they were the same chord, just on different beats). If it matters, the chord was an Em(Sus2), though I do not believe that the chord mattered. When altered, the glitch still occurred, even if the chord or instrument was altered, or the same exact input was placed on another instrument. While it is not a critical, system-breaking bug, it is a major inconvenience.


Comments

I can confirm this has happened to me on multiple occasions and it's extremely frustrating. It sometimes happens when I try to link anything past 2 measures. I think it's pretty trivial to reproduce, to be honest, because I run into it constantly when I'm trying to write slower passages.

I have just come across this issue too.
in my 5 pieces I'm working on it is happening a lot. I'm having to fiddle to make them work, or just accept the problem. or copy bars where they have worked before then check the notes are correct
I have found that changing the 2nd tied note to a different length, eg from a semibreve to a crochet then back again it can fix the problem.. sometimes.
is this a known issue?
