Hi Lesley,

Using a slur will not give you tied notes. Tied notes are automatically created by BIAB.

If you find yourself in a situation where a rest has been entered (or appears) and you want to make that into a tied note, try the following (also see images below)...

In the below example, I want the 'G' in bar 1 (#1) to be a half-note and to have it tied to a quarter-note in bar 2 (which is presently a rest, #2).

1. Enter "Editable Notation Mode".

2. Left-click the mouse on the centre of the note-head.

3. This increases the note length to the maximum available time-length between the two existing notes (#3).

The above technique will work every time UNLESS user-inserted rests have been added. These will be coloured blue when in Editable Notation Mode. To create ties in this instance, simply click on the rest to make it a note and then hold down DELETE and left-click to delete the note. Now follow the above.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. Lesley, please note that the below images of mine do not show Editable Notation Mode. For the 'click on the note' procedure to work, it is necessary to be in Editable Notation Mode as shown in Videotrack's above post.
