Not sure if this is a playback or notation issue but here is my problem. I am transcribing a funk tune with a vocal melody. All parts except the vocal play back as expected. The voice track ties all the notes together so that, for example, a dotted half followed by a quarter of the same pitch plays back as a whole note. This is making it difficult to hear if I am transcribing correctly.

What is causing this and how can I fix it?

What instrument are you using for the voice? You might try using Grand Piano. This would be more distinct than many other sounds.

Thanks Mike. The staff is set to Tenor Voice. I will try another voicing.
