Hi all, random problem here. I have a staff with a normal voice, and a downstem rhythmic voice indicating some rhythmic hits.
However, on one of the downstem slash notes, I can’t get Dorico to display a tie across the barline? Other notes in the same voice, with the exact same time timing, are able to take the slash just fine.
See Pic, any ideas? THanks
Not sure why it isn’t working, but the way around it is to click the first note, Cmd-click the second note, then tie them.
Are you 100% sure that they are the same voice? Turning on Voice Colors is a great way to check.
Another possible way is to select the first of those two notes and press 6. This should turn it into a quarter note which will/should be notated as two tied eighths because of its position in the last half-beat of that bar.
Thats actually what I was trying to do, but for whatever reason the tie wasn’t being added! weird.
This worked, thanks. 
yeah, same voice - I usually have voice colors on for this very reason!
Speaking of ties not being added, how would I add a tie to a note on the and of four, but not connect to anything in the next bar? (to indicate the rhythm on the and of for, and imply that one should not play on the downbeat of the next bar, but not specify anything further than that?
I could add a note in the next bar and use a custom scale of 1% to make it (practically) invisible. Is there a better way? A Dorico way, perhaps?
Edit - that actually doesn’t work anyway; Dorico resizes the note on the and of four as well as the note its tied to.
That’s an LV tie. I’m embarrassed to say I can never remember how to spell it, but it’s a toggle in the bottom panel. “Lassez vibrer” is my best guess at the moment… I’m sure another user will set me aright.
I took two years of French, but apparently none of it stuck…
Thanks! Have never heard that term before, thanks for my daily shot of education
Laissez Vibrer.
Close! Maybe yours is the Imperial spelling?
Ha, me neither.

« Let ring » the in inconsistencies of musical writing we have a french horn but a cor anglais and they play mute on, con sordino and then there is the oboe which was actually an haut-bois😊
I just want to add that on my screen, the second pair of notes is of the exact same color, while in the first pair these are to different shades of orange-red-ish …
What happens if you highlight the first untied slash note and lengthen it with option/alt left arrow?
Yeah, it’s just because I had the first one highlighted in my screen shot
didn;t know about that shortcut, but i’ll try to remember it for the future- thanks!
(I think @mavros intended shift-opt/alt-right-arrow to extend things!)
Thank Janus, indeed with just option/alt the note would move.
