Is this in an existing song, or the notation display or piano roll etc? If it is the melody track maybe Melody > Edit Melody > Quantize > Humanize Melody and select Increase Legato might assist.

If this is the case, try changing the duration of the entered note. To do this, when in Notation Mode, follow the 1, 2, 3 below. As you can see, I set my duration to 98%. See if this helps.

Being a trombone player, I always go for a legato sound in the melodies I enter. I actually have my 'Duration %' set at 100% in the screen Noel illustrates. So I wondered why it would be necessary to introduce the new 'Increase Legato'. Then I realised it was the answer for all of those BiaB files you can obtain from other groups on the internet, where the notes were of shorter duration. I used to edit these by using the Piano roll and lengthening each one individually. Now I just use the Increase Legato. It's perfect! Thanks PGMusic!

Is "Notation Display" all the information you could provide? More information about the source of the song, how it is/was created can helps others help you more.

The third button in this group turns on "staff roll mode." Here each note has 2 blue lines coming from it. The vertical line is velocity, or loudness. The horizontal line is duration. You can change these lines and their associated values by making the blue lines longer and shorter. Use the right mouse button to do this. The right mouse button. This is a lesser know feature of BiaB, and it is brilliant. Manipulating the horizontal line will give you as fine a degree of control over the legato values of the melody notes as you could ever want.
