Hi David,

That's the way the notation entry works. If you want the note to stay tied to the note in the second bar, simply click on beat 2 or greater (or, for that matter, part of the way through beat 1) to get the tie happening. If you click on beat 1 of the second bar, the tie will be overwritten with a note.

When I first started using BIAB's notation, I found it incredibly confusing because it's very different from any other notation software around. Now that I have the hang of it, I've come to appreciate just how fast it is at entering notes. I prefer to use BIAB these days.

If you scroll down the webpage that the below link takes you to, you'll find a video clip on entering notation under "Video Archives". It's worth watching. (Ignore that it's from 2004 because the process is still the same today.)

Hope this helps,
