Re: Last note of a first alternative is a tie to the first note in the repeat; how to engrave this?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi Hwaen and David;

  Thank you very much for your replies.

  It does solve the problem.

  I saw that command but, for some reason I did not think it applied
to my situation.

  I will try to make a note of this so I don't ask this question
again; I'll just have to consult my "gotcha" list.

Ken
