NOTE
The second note must be the same pitch as the rst note.
RESULT
During note input, the two notes input are joined by a tie.
If you selected a single existing note, it is joined by a tie to the next note of the same pitch in the
same voice and staff. If you selected two existing notes, they are tied together, provided they are
the same pitch and belong to the same instrument.
NOTE
●
During note input, Dorico Elements ties the rst note you input after inputting the tie to the
previous note of the same pitch in the same voice and staff, even if there are other notes of
other pitches between them.
●
Depending on the current time signature and the position of the start of the note in the bar,
inputting a tie between two notes can instead create a single note of a different duration,
such as a half note instead of two tied quarter notes. You can override your note grouping
settings and x your notated rhythm by forcing their duration. Dorico Elements then notates
your input notes with the rhythmic durations specied, as long as they can t inside the bar.

Inputting grace notes
You input grace notes in the same ways as normal notes, and they can have any rhythmic note
value, accidental, and articulation. You can only input grace notes during note input.
NOTE
These steps describe inputting notes with the default preference of duration before pitch.
However, you can also specify the pitch before duration instead.
