time signature changes are partially obscured by the ties. However, as ties are curved, the time

signature is unlikely to be completely obscured.

Ties across clef changes

Ties are automatically positioned between notes that span a change of clef. Ties across clef

changes are not horizontal, as the same pitch is positioned differently in each clef.

The result of cross-clef ties is likely to be visually and musically confusing, as they can be misread

as slurs. In this case, consider moving the change of clef to before/after the tied note.

Ties between non-adjacent notes

You can input ties between notes of the same pitch that are not directly beside each other. This

can be useful when inputting ties between multiple notes before a chord, for example.

Notes leading into a chord notated

as a series of tied chords

Notes leading into a chord notated

as tied non-adjacent notes

Multiple grace notes before a

chord with ties between non-

adjacent notes

Ties between different voices

You can input ties between notes of the same pitch in different voices.

Ties between notes on different staves

You can input ties between notes of the same pitch in different staves.

Laissez vibrer ties

Laissez vibrer ties are short ties that indicate a note should be left to ring, and should not be

stopped. They extend a small amount to the right of the note to which they apply, but do not

connect to another note.

You can add laissez vibrer ties to any note. You can edit laissez vibrer ties in Engrave mode like any

other tie.
