Tie & Coda

[Autentiquish]

Hello.

I have a problem with Finale 2008. I want to put a tie to be the last note of one bar to the first of the Coda. I've tried using "Shift + T". But apparently that does not work because Coda is separated from the score. Can you help me with any other solution? Some also affects the sound then, because I need to be interpreted the tie in the midi. Thank you very much

1) For this solution to work in Finale 2008, the last measure before the Coda must end with a Back Ending.
If you don't want the Back Ending to display, you can hide it.

2) Speedy Entry Tool.
Hit the number 0 key to exit the Speedy Entry rectangle.
Hold down the correct modifier key (Windows: Ctrl ; Mac: Option), and click the first Coda measure.
The dialog box Edit Frame appears.
For the note slot of your tied note, select the option "Tie End".
Click OK.

NB:
If you in "Document Options - Ties" have set a value for "System Break Start Adjustment" other than zero, you must now apply Music Spacing, and Update Layout, in order to get the Tie End spaced correctly.

Thank you, Peter! Finally I could solve it thanks to your response. Yesterday I spent all afternoon looking for a solution and there was no way. If I can ever help you with something, do not hesitate to ask.

What is a "Back ending"? Is it a double bar, final, solid or some sort of repeat?

I suspect that would be a backward repeat bar.

It is “some sort of repeat”, namely a repeat ending backward bracket with a backward repeat bar.
