To add a tie backwards (Speedy Entry Tool)

1. Click the Speedy Entry tool, and click a measure. The editing frame appears.
2. Click the note where the tie end will appear. You can also press the arrow keys to position the cursor. If only a single note of a chord is to be tied, use the UP or DOWN ARROW to position the crossbar squarely on its notehead; to add a tie end to every note in the chord, position the crossbar on any line or space not containing a notehead.
3. Press the CTRL and the equal sign (CTRL+=) keys or press SHIFT+T. A tie going to the previous note or chord appears. If the insertion point bar was on a chord stem, a tie appears on every note in the chord; if the crossbar was on a single notehead, only that note receives the tie. Remove a tie by pressing the CTRL+= sign key again.
