PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
●
Start note input.
● Select the note from which you want the tie to start.
2. Optional: During note input, input the note that you want at the start of the tie.
3. Press T to input ties.
4. Optional: During note input, input the note that you want at the end of the tie.
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.
When inputting ties between existing notes, the selected note is joined by a tie to the next note
of the same pitch in the same voice and staff.
NOTE
● During note input, Dorico SE 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 SE then notates your
input notes with the rhythmic durations specied, as long as they can t inside the bar.
