Dear Ron, Robert Patterson gives you good advice, but if you haven't done this before, it might be helpful to have step-by-step directions: In Speedy entry, turn off Jump to Next Measure and Check for Extra Notes. Enter the quarter, then the two eighths that will be tied. Move to the next measure and enter an eighth rest (or note) and hit O (letter oh). Go to the score and use the Special Tools to move the second of the tied eighths to its proper location in the second bar. This will work as long as the two bars involved are not broken by a system break. In that case, you have to use the other method Robert mentioned - using the tuplet tool to change the two eighths to quarters and make graphic beam segments to attach to the tied notes. One of these days Coda will give us simpler ways of accomplishing this - or maybe one of our plug-in artists will provide one that will accomplish it for us. Best of luck.
