A quick way (somebody must have suggested this already) to be sure that
you have the pitch right in the second bar is to make the first note too
long, move right with shift + right arrow, ask for the extra note to be
moved to the next bar (if you have lots of ties, you can leave this
selected) and put the length of the second note right with the numeric
keys.  For even total lengths it will be right already e.g. dotted half
tied to quarter = whole note.
