Guys, Yesterday I was writing a number that had a lot of 'Whole notes' (semi-breves)....tied over on to the first 1/4 note (crotchet) of the next bar. Displayed fine....but when I tried to insert notation on the remaining 3 beats of that bar........my 'tie' disapeared & was replaced by a 1/4 beat rest on the first beat of the 2nd bar! I managed to complete the music by using "Staff notation mode" & saving....but today...the problem remains. I've tried 'return to factory settings'....it has not helped. I can't think what I've done that could have caused this.........(but knowing my past history...it's probably something REALLY simple!). Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe G.
