Yep, odd indeed. I'm afraid this does not deserve a place in the hallowed halls of Finale workarounds. In fact, I'd say it's actually a workabug...(:>)
I tried these tests to try and trick it, but none of them worked, including: € after duplicating the conditions under whch it DID work I added a note to the preceding measure. The affected measure retained its start-new-system property but the ending tie disappeared. € I wondered if once created, it would stay created even if I took away the start-new-system property. Alas, no. The option-equal sign is great for 2nd-ending situations IF the previous measure uses a backward-facing repeat sign WITH the bracket above it. A repeat sing on its own will not work. So when the 1st ending is one-measure long, and you might not otherwise use the backward repeat sign with the bracket, you have to when you want to use this ending-tie capability.
