Brian,Finale will correctly playback ties that are entered as ties. If you are not geting correct playback, my first guess is that you used the slur tool to create the ties instead of the tie tool (Simple Entry) or using the = key to create the ties in Speedy Entry. Another glitch could be if you tried to tie a note in one layer to a note in a different layer (can't be done directly) or if you created a tie spanning a key change. Both of these situations sometimes call for workarounds.
Good luck.
