How to turn tied dotted 1/4 into a dotted 1/2 note in 12/8 time in the score editor

Hello. I have a project in 12/8 time and for some reason I can’t get the notes displaying how I want. Here you can see that the score editor is tying the bass note in the second bar and I would like a dotted half note instead. Can someone give me an idea how to solve this please?

Hi @attaboy_jhb , which Cubase version are you using?

Edit:
I just tried it out with Cubase 13 and got pretty much the same score you showed.
If you activate the marked option in the notation settings, the optical separation of the notes will be removed.

THank you. That worked. Yesterday I had used the “groupping” function in the “Edit time signature” function and set this to 6 + 6 using “grouping only”. This seemed to have worked too but not sure if your option is better or not. It certainly is easier :slight_smile:
