I leave this dialog set on the "Put extra notes in next measure" option because I usually prefer going through this dialog to create notes tied across the barline. The new method of adding the tie from the following bar creates yet another redraw and the dialog method has become part of my routine. When I make an error I'm currently faced with the choice of leaving the settings as is and editing the resultant wrong notes or choosing "Leave measure alone" and having to change back to my normal setting. Either way a groove buster. You windows folks, is this still a problem in 2k3?
