Allow independent ties in the Score Editor, and a bug

[3052212066]

The tie cannot be selected independently. Both connected notes are selected and deleted along with the tie.

I also tried using the Split tool on the tied notes. The tie is removed and the notes become separated, but an unwanted staccato dot appears above the second note. I cannot find a way to remove this dot, and I do not want this articulation in my score.

I cannot find a way to remove this dot, and I do not want this articulation in my score.

A tie is not an articulation though. The underlying note crosses the bar or beat line and therefore is written with a tie.

However this looks like a bug because after using the Split tool the second note has a negative length.

repro

1. create empty project
2. create a midi track and a midi part
3. add a note that crosses a barline:
4. Click on the second note with the Split tool

Result:

A note with a negative length

@3052212066 can you (or anyone) confirm?

Yes! i can confirm this:

But as you see the negative lenght is allready there. Strange. I wrote the note in by the pensil in key editor.

And the split tool, and a some of the other tools also, in the score editor only dispaly a +sign, not a scissor or other like in the project window.

Well this topic will just be about the bug mentioned.

I’ll report the negative value, but I would wager they know about it.

Maybe they know, even tho it’s not an issue in Dorico where you simply press U to untie.
