It doesn’t matter whether you tie as you go, (hitting “T” before each note addition), or tie after-the-fact. If any part of a tied note needs a forced duration, one has to replace all notes from the beginning of the tied note. If this is desired behavior, it’s not ideal, though depending on the way the engine is set up, it could be tricky to change… It seems this would require entering the whole tied section over instead of simply adding the missing tie. Obviously this would be the ideal way to enter something, but what if, in the course of composing, one decides they want a tie where previously one didn’t exist. The Baritone (desired) result is achieved by beginning with Force Duration turned on, and entering all notes and ties as they come, all in note entry mode. The final tie between measure 2 and 3 is then added after the fact, outside of note entry mode. The Tenor result is achieved by inputting both whole notes and tying them with Force Duration on all in note entry mode, then skipping the next tie, then inputting the dotted half and eighth with the tie still in note entry mode. Ties are input along with the notes in note entry mode and not after the fact. The Contralto result is achieved by inputting at least both whole notes WITHOUT Force Duration on, then turning it on either before the dotted half or before the dotted eighth. Attached is a picture of three different results, all input with different combinations of Force Durations. So, I did a little more fiddling, and I figured a few things out.
