I did it again. Last time, Lorenzo, I promise. So what I said:
Well, here's the problem: When I initially put the chord in, I made the notes dotted whole notes, which made them span three measures. And, now that I'm suddenly remembering what happened there, I determined that a note BEFORE this chord needed to be longer, which meant that I had to somehow move three measures worth of chord over to start at the next measure. I realize that you can do this in the matrix editor (in fact, that's the instance that drove me to look at the matrix editor in the first place), but I was hoping to keep the notation up with the piece as I went along, so I tried to do what I could with the notation and wound up with what you see in the picture. But THEN, something happened... I think maybe I had the erase tool activated and forgot about that or something... I don't remember, but whatever it was, either undoing didn't fix it or I didn't want to undo. This removed the tie from that first half note to the quarter note in the next measure. No problem, I figured, I can just select them and tie them. Unfortunately, ever since then, it SHOWS the tie, but it plays like it's not tied. Since I had worked out an earlier problem (with this same chord) with the matrix editor, I tried that. I get the same problem, though. Might it be worth deleting the whole chord altogether and putting it back in? At least in the matrix editor?
