Now I am really confused as I know what you say to be true if you enter for example 4 quarter notes while in 4/4 time the tie will stay in the first beat of the next bar and that you can change the first beat to a 1/8 note by adding it into the 3rd dotted line. When you have a whole note and the tie carries over to the next bar you cannot add in the same 1/8 note without the tie being broken. You can also enter a series of 8 1/8 notes and the tie will stay but you cannot enter two 1/4 notes and have the 1/2 note carry over and expect the tie to stay so that you can enter any other note in to the first beat. The tie will disappear. Why is this happening?



You are correct, it doesn't work right in certain cases.

I cannot enter a whole note in bar 1, tied to an eighth note in bar 2.
Instead, I get an eighth rest where the eighth note should be.
