How do I make a diagonal?
Thanks.
How should I choose when it’s a tie note?
I’m assuming this is not a glissando but a voice leading guide common in piano music. Control click on the starting note (only) and the destination note. In lines in the right panel make sure the option at the top of the horizontal lines is set to go from note to note. Then click on the straight horizontal line. I was just doing this this week. You can edit the start and end points in Engrave mode for more precise placement.

Because of the tie, a line appears on the eighth note in the next bar.
How should I handle this situation?
Is this what you are trying to achieve?
If so:
- Untie the long C (select it and press U)
- Change the voice of the short C at the start of the second bar (right-click on the note then Voices > Change Voice and choose a voice)
- Select the long C in the lower staff and the B/D dyad in the upper staff, click on the Lines icon in the righthand panel, select note to note under Start and End at the top of the list of lines then click on the line style you want (you will probably need to go into Engrave mode and adjust the endpoints of the line, but do this after the next step)
- Select the long C and the short C (click on one of them, ctrl/cmd-click on the other) then press T to tie them

Pressing the last T will make the line disappear.
That will happen if the two tied notes are in the same voice. In the screenshot I posted, I left Voice Colours on to show that they are in different voices.
Open this file:

Click on each note. The status bar (at the lower left of the window) will display which voice a note is in.

After selecting long C and pressing T, does it proceed beyond short C?
Just to make sure that they worked, I checked the instructions before I posted them. Follow them exactly.
