It would be quite useful if the Tie button was lighted when selecting a note with tie so being able to distinguish ties from slurs.
Kind regards

For the record, you have this info in the status bar at the bottom of the main window.

Secondarily, select the first note and start playback (eg with space bar) is another way, audible, for checking this.

Title Tie and Slurs Tie and Slurs may be influence by the order in which ties are added?

Seems as though the order in which a series of notes are tied can make a difference. While working on an arrangement with 3 consecutive occurrences of a note, I decided to tie notes 2 and 3. Later on I decided to tie all 3 notes and added a tie between notes 1 and 2.

It did not playback properly.

I deleted all the ties and tied note 1 to 2, then 2 to 3. It then played back perfectly.

I then returned to an old tune that I had imported from PDF conversion that had problems with 2 of the tied chords and was not playing back those 2 tied chords properly. I deleted the ties and then did the tied chords in order from the bottom note up. It now plays back perfectly.

Most likely you accidentally entered a slur instead of a tie the first time then corrected it later. But if you find a case where you think there is a problem, please psot to the support forum as I mentioned, and attach the specific score you are having problmes with and precise steps to reproduce the problem.
