Avoiding ties

That is a nice-looking excerpt, and very fast! For what it’s worth, in the second bar Dorico seems to be doing its job, fitting the clarinet syncopations into the 3/4 meter. This looks like a good place to use Force Duration.

It is frustrating that Force Duration can’t act retroactively on notes already entered; that is a known issue which has been discussed on the forum before, and I think it will be addressed eventually.
