3.) I input a half note (first 2 beats)
4.) I input a dotted quarter note (a beat and a half)
5.) I input a eight note (as the remainder of the 1st measure)
6.) 2nd measure, one whole note placed of the first beat equaling 4 beats.

....and no tie. Alternative, I recreated the same notes on a new screen and the last, I went into the dialog box and changed the duration/beat/ticks area and changed it to 4. I even increased and decreased the ticks...and nothing....no tie. Im not sure what to do now.






Hi Shannon
Great to know that you got it working, but I am a little confused with some of your statements, viz (emphasis supplied):

3.) I input a half note (first 2 beats)
4.) I input a dotted quarter note (a beat and a half)
5.) I input a eight note (as the remainder of the 1st measure)

What did you do to enter a 3) 'Half note', 4) 'dotted quarter note' and 5)final 'eighth note'?

Or did you just enter notes in the correct positions, and the note "lengths" were supplied by BiaB?

Normally when entering notes with a mouse click on the Stave, BiaB works out the lengths, not the user.
In my samples above, you see that inserted note lengths are calculated by BiaB, until a later note causes an earlier note to be 'shortened'

Matt's tip is good: it's easier to work from Left to Right
Don't worry about note lengths (at least initially)

Look forward to your feedback

Kind regards

Trevor
