I have the following problem. When I tie notes together, the last note changes duration. The example is on the screenshot. I tried the same thing in Dorico and everything is fine there. You can try it yourself, maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Can you describe the exact steps you took?
If you select two notes of the same pitch, then press the tie button, it should tie those two notes. It looks like you possibly selected only the last note in bar 33?
Hi. Thank you for your reply. I have squared what I have selected in the first post. All the B flat notes should be tied together. It should work out roughly like the first screen. (It’s from the score).
- What it looks like before tie:
- Select:
- Press Tie
thanks for the clarification, I understand what you mean in your original post now.
The internal display quantize sees the new duration and attempts to fill the gap - incorrectly in this case. You should be able to tweak the duration of the tied note by using the nudge commands. Set the quantize value to 1/8 notes, then use the “nudge end left” key command, which should be cmd/ctrl+shift+left.
Let us know if this works for you.
I tried this in dorico, it works perfectly. It selects what I need. I can switch between the different options.
In cubase, for some reason it misses the note with the dot. I selected quantize 1/8, but I only get this result. Or the one I had at the beginning.
But again, when the notes are not tied together, this command works the same way as in dorico.
I thought maybe the problem was that I entered the notes using midi. So I created a project and used the pen.
But it works the same way, and the command doesn’t help because it can’t add a dot to quarter note, for some reason. (And I’ve tried using Quantize.)
I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I’m stupid. Could someone please try this on your own? Then it would be immediately clear.
This is something that we’ve fixed internally so it should be in the next update, though the results do depend on whether the note was recorded with MIDI or entered directly in the score editor.
If you create a note in the score editor then the editor sees that you have made an explicit choice about the notated length of the note. So a dotted quarter will show as a dotted quarter. In the Key editor though, the score editor will interpret that as a note that was played in live and will try to clean up the notation to show a half note
