Utilities/Check Notation/Ties

This command corrects the playback of ties in a selected region. When you first put ties into the score using the Simple Entry or Speedy Entry tools, they sometimes don’t play back correctly. For example, the ending tied note may be articulated again instead of being added to the duration of the note to which it’s tied; furthermore, when a tie straddles a system line break, the tie sometimes isn’t continued onto the next system. This command corrects these problems.

Additionally, this command fixes any missing accidentals on notes that were formerly tied. For example, if two notes with an accidental on the first had been tied and the octave of the second note was changed, the accidental might not be drawn on the second note. This command corrects this problem.
