Notation problem changing tied note to dotted quarter note

Dorico
1

Hello.

I have just upgraded to Dorico 3.5 for Windows.

To be honest I haven’t used Dorico for a long time and I am sure the answer is right in front of me, but I can’t work out what to do.

I imported a very simple two voice guitar piece in 3/4.

Unfortunately one note was imported incorrectly.

Please see example.

Please give me a very simple explanation how to resolve the notation in the melody note.

Many thanks.

I trust you are all well and not being too negatively impacted with the COVID situation

With the note selected, press O (Force Duration), then 6, then period (for the dot).

There may be a setting for this in Notation Options as well, though I don’t recall… there are a bunch.
