I'm working in 7/8 group 2+2+3 With notes that last a bar I want them displayed 1/2 note tied to dotted 1/4 note. But Logic only allows dotted 1/2 tied to an 1/8 note. Is ther any way to change this. Logic isn't very clever in compound time signatures generally.

And what if it did it your way and I wanted it the way it is..... There is no right or wrong - just a default way. And of course you can change it - you can make it any way you like it.. Just insert a user rest after the 4th beat and that is where the tie will begin... You can make it tie any note value to any note value..... - I would call that very very clever :)....
( just having a little fun with my response.... ) hope that helps you solve your issue.

It’s in the documentation -
you can make it work for polyphonic staff styles - you need a user rest for each one since each are rhythmically independent from each other - if you need help post a pic of the measure and I will show you how.

I just realised that your solution doesn't work with a polyphonic stave, or at least I can't make it do so. I specify which channel the rest belongs to, but it gives crazy results. If you can make that work, please let me know how.
My apologies, I just tried again and it worked. Thanks for your help and patience.
Glad it worked out for you... have fun!
Hi, thanks, that's very useful. However, you are wrong to imply that there isn't a correct way to group notes in compound time signatures. In 9/8 for example there are 3 beats in the bar, each a dotted 1/4 note. So if I fill a bar with a note it should be a dotted 1/2 note tied to a dotted 1/4 indicating where the beats lie. It should not be a whole note tied to an 1/8 note. I specifically grouped my time signature 2+2+3, so if the program was just a bit more intelligent it would default to that grouping in bar length notes. However, I do thank you for your work-around. It's a bit weird that you have to insert an invisible rest. How is anyone supposed to figure that out?
