Hi,
I first created the notes in the regular staff, converted them to Rhythmic Notation and then copied them to the Tab staff and every worked except a Tie at the end. I couldn't find out how to add the Tie in the Tablature. Also, is there a quick way to convert the Rhythmic Notation back to notes in the regular staff?

Thanks!

Why did you convert them to Rhythmic Notation?
To create TAB notation it is not necessary to, first convert the notes to Rhythmic Notation.

Staff Tool.
Double-click the TAB staff, to get to the Staff Attributes.
In the Staff Attributes, in the pane Items to Display, is there a check mark next to Ties?

Thanks Peter! Now I know how to access the tools to change the types of notation and next time I won't convert the notes to rhythmic notation in the regular staff.
