The start of a tie chain before a system break The end of the same tie chain after a system break
Tied notes with accidentals across system breaks and page breaks
The ends of ties for tied notes with accidentals across system breaks and page breaks are also
automatically positioned.
As tied notes in Dorico Elements are treated as one note notated to t in time signatures,
cautionary accidentals at the start of new systems/frames are not shown by default. If you
choose to show accidentals beside notes in tie chains at the start of new systems/frames, the
position of the notes is changed to accommodate accidentals. However, this automatic position
might not leave
sucient room for the part of the tie to the left of the notes to be shown with an
ideal curve.

Ties across time signature changes
Ties are automatically positioned between notes that span a time signature change. If ties
crossing a time signature change are joining notes in the middle of a staff, the top or bottom of
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 and
between grace notes and normal notes. This can be useful when inputting ties between multiple
notes before a chord, for example.
