Tie on grace note doesn't show in condensing

The tie from a grace note doesn’t show in condensing.
I have it normal size (100%) and hide stem and note head but it is no difference with a normal small grace note.

This is the first notes in a flow.
I also tried with a fresh project with the same situation and I got the same: no tie in condensation.

I’ve tried with amalgamation for slurs, manual cond with 2 up-stem voices or 1 up and 1 down..

The only thing that works is to put a manual “no condensing” but then I have the two horn staves on that page. less elegant.

I’m probably missing something elementary, but what ?? jj

Instead of tying the grace note to the normal note which follows, add a laissez vibrer tie to the grace note and adjust its position in engrave mode:

A work-around that only works in some situation is not a bug; it is simply a work-around that doesn’t work in every situation.

When the Dorico team presents an actual solution to work in all situation and then it doesn’t, that will be a potential bug.

The workaround isn’t the bug. The issue with the tie not showing is.

How one implements the tie into a second-ending note from a grace note (or moving an l.v. tie) is a work-around, not an existing solution programmed by the Development Team.

Not arguing that point. The need for the workaround is, indeed, a bug. Just like we have to work around ties into 2nd endings. Using lv for that is another workaround, but the fact ties don’t join in a 2nd ending is a bug. Or an oversight, at the very least.

A bug is a feature that does not work as planned. There is (so far) no feature for these ties. We are really just arguing semantics here. I think we both want a programmed feature that handles these ties properly by default, and I’m sure the Developers do too. It is likely just a matter of time.

Agreed.
