Splitting tie chains
You can split tie chains at specied positions, for example, if you want to change the pitch
halfway through a tie chain or delete individual ties within tie chains. This does not remove any
other ties in the tie chain.
NOTE
If you want to split ties because Dorico Elements notated notes differently than you expected,
you can set custom beat groupings for individual time signatures.
PROCEDURE
1.
In Write mode, double-click the staff where you want to split a tie chain to start note input at
that position.
2.
Optional: Move the caret to where you want to split the tie chain.
