Re: Tie not working as expected

[K. Blum]

Hi Steve,

welcome to the group!

In your third measure, Instead of
    g~1
you should write
    g1~

Your sequence means the following:
- g without a duration uses the last duration specified, i.e. whole note
from the measure before.
- ~ produces a tie to the following note.
- 1 without a pitch produces a new note with the length specified and
the pitch repeated from the note before.

Cheers,
Klaus
