Ties in write mode

I see a bit more clearly. First, I agree that it should be done more automatically in this case (I’ll let someone from Steinberg answer that part). However, it looks very much like your 7/4 is a group of seven independent quarter notes and that there is very little traditional grouping. If you select the first note, type shift+m and then type “[3+4]/4,0.5”, it will already be better. But typing the 7/4 as a group of seven independent beats “[1+1+1+1+1+1+1]/4,0.5”, which seems to fit that excerpt, will give you the full results automatically.
