Here's the thing about your example: you never enter a note in measure 2.


As Matt (and I) have correctly pointed out, if you want to tie a note to lengthen it, you cannot place a note in the position where it should continue to be playing. It has to be placed in the position where it must start playing. Matt's emphasized text (above) is the key point.

Review my last screen capture that shows where I placed the final note in the bar, and compare to where you placed the final note. The mouse cursor shows exactly where I placed the final (3rd) note. Music plays forward from that point. You entered 4 notes - when you only want 3 notes to play.
