Do you have a suggestion for what a good setting for that would be?

Hello Jane,
I would make the measures a bit larger, apart from: document/tie options,
mass edit/change ties and/or special tools/tie tool.

Thanks for the ideas. The first suggestion about music spacing options
didn't make any difference.
I tried a few things with the tie options but didn't get any better
results. Here are links to a couple examples. If anyone has any ideas I
would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I am using Finale 2004 on Mac, OS 10.3.5. It seems like ties in the
piece I am working on look awful. If I have chord of 3 notes tied,
the middle tie is way too narrow. Also if a chord with 4 notes, with
the interval of a second in the middle, the middle ties are
misplaced. Has any one else seen this? Is there a cure?
For the middle tie being too short, the setting you need to change is
under Music Spacing Options (Options > Document Settings > Music
Spacing Options*. Change the value for "Minimum Distance Between
Notes with Ties" to something larger. The tie is going to squeeze
itself into whatever space there is, but this value makes sure that
when the music is spaced it leaves enough room for a longer tie.
The rest of the settings you want are under Options > Document
Settings > Tie Options*. I've been using my own Tie Option settings
for so long that I don't even remember what values are set in the
default templates, but I vaguely recall being dissatisfied with them.
I'm not sure what you mean by the middle ties being misplaced. If
you're unhappy with the choices of over vs under, try a different
selection under Tie Direction > Chords. The three options are three
different algorithms for determining up or down for the ties in the
middle of the chord. Perhaps the rule you consider correct is not the
same one you have selected.
Lots of other tie settings you twiddle with there. Even when you get
the settings you like best, there will still be cases where you have
to adjust them manually to get it just right.

whatever version you're on, but the same panels will be there
somewhere.
