Dotted Quarter Notes next to eighth notes always get tied

[Sherry C]

Howdy guys,

We have it on the "to do" list to let the user decide whether they want to use dotted quarter ("cleaner" notation) or quarter-tied-eighth (more rythmically in keeping, especially if there are other eighth notes in the notation.)

For now, you can (1) select the tie and (2) use the "collapse tie" button in the tool palette. If you're not sure about where that is, you can use the Help/Users Guide and then the Index to look up "ties".

ttfn,
Sherry
