Certain Note Combination Causing Inability to Add Ties
More Info Found as of 1/8/2015 3:43 am:
Apparently, in any measure, if you have a quarter rest, eighth rest, eighth note and a dotted eighth note that isn't the same note as the un-dotted eighth note, this bug will occur. See "Bug example 1"
Also, The bug only sometimes effects the measures after it.
It may have something to do with the, instrument: tenor sax, Time sig.: 4/4, Key sig.: Concert Bb/one flat, or number of measures: 32,
But that is all conjecture
Windows 8.1
Version: 1.3
Revision: 5702
Original Post:
When attempting to transcribe this song I found that at measure 12 and beyond I couldn't add a tie to any of the notes in the measure, I've tried copying my progress into new sheet music files and starting from scratch but both pressing + and clicking the tie button do nothing.

I originally put the 1/8/2015 3:43 edit down here but decided against it
I'm not understanding what you are trying to do here. Can you describe precisely, step by step, what you do after loading one of these files in order to see the problem? Also, be aware that 1.3 will receive no further fixes. but I'd like to see if I can reproduce the problem in a current 2.0 build, and firs,t I need to understand the problem.
As it is, I don't have any problems adding a tie in any measure of either file. For example, with Baker Street, I successfully added a tie to the last note of measure 12 as follows:
1) click measure 13
2) press N to enter note input mode
3) type "E" to enter an E
4) press Esc to exit note input mode
5) click the last notes of measure 12 (E)
6) press "+"
It tied exactly as it should; Perhaps you are simply not doing it correctly?
Similar with your other file. I added another F, left note input mode, click the original F, and pressed "+", and got a tie just as expected.
Hi Zeneris
Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately, the 1.x series will not receive further updates as all effort is now on the forthcoming 2.0 release. You are welcome to test it.
I don't understand the report though. Maybe it isn't showing in the score - especially you are encountering a bug in which after changes of score elements, things aren't 'refreshed' which results in non-functioning behaviour - saving, closing and re-opening can fix it.
Thanks again.

I'm guessing at this it is just a simple misunderstanding - that you just aren't using the tie command correctly. But I'm leaving the report open in case you have additional information to provide that would allow us to see an actual bug in 1.3 and test to see if it exists in 2.0.
In the future, though, it is best to ask questions on the Support forum and wait for independent confirmation that what you are seeing is an actual bug rather than a misunderstanding over how a feature is supposed to work.
I'll just try to deal with it until version 2 but:
1) open score (I've tested Tenor sax, Bb Clarinet and Bb Trumpet with same results)
2) press n to open note placement
3) place quarter rest in first measure
4) place eighth rest after quarter rest
5) place eighth note after eighth rest
6) place dotted eighth note after eighth note
7) close note placement
8) select first eighth note
9) press + or click "add tie" button
If the second eighth note is the same note as the first eighth note, the tie will appear
If the second eighth note is NOT the same note as the first eighth note, no tie will appear
Save, close, reopen was the very first thing I tried, long before I considered checking the issue reports.
Thanks anyway, I guess i'll just make do until version 2.0
Nevermind, I realised my mistake, I should know that ties and slurs aren't the same thing
Sorry, I can't believe I spent a day and a half thinking about a stupid mistake
Posts crossed, glad you sorted it.
