although the existence of a tie-chain can change whether a note is interpreted as staccato or not, in your particular example, that’s not the determining feature as far as I can see. I used the VSL solo violin (although this issue is library independent as far as I can remember) and set tempi 120 and 72. At 120 all the notes are staccato and at 72 none of them are with default settings. The difference is the ability to change the maximum duration for staccato playback (which was introduced after the thread referred to). If you’re getting different results, then it would be interesting to see your project. It also makes no difference on which note in a tie the dot is – thought I’d check that to make sure.
