Quarter note tied to dotted 8th defaults to double dotted quarter

[Hunter_Allison]

Hello,

When I enter a quarter note tied to a dotted eighth, the default turns it into a double dotted quarter note. I know I can force duration to get the result I want, but is there a setting I’m missing in the notation options to have the quarter to dotted eighth as my default?

Thanks

You can disallow double-dotted notes…
Notation options>Note Grouping>Rhythm dots…
