(Score Window) Dotted half note showing up as a tie of half and quarter notes.
I input a score into Logic Pro X by dragging notes of various values onto the staff in 4/4 time. When I drag a dotted half note onto the staff, I get a half note tied to a quarter note (within the measure). I have not been able to figure out how to get these tied notes to just appear as dotted half notes. The note appears to me to be the correct length (3/4 beat) in the graphic browser. I have the Staff Style set to Treble with the quantize resolution set to 8,12.
I'm not really a music theory guy, and the Score window has just recently come onto my radar, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
NOTE: Further experimenting shows that a dotted quarter note comes in as a quarter note tied to an eighth note, and a dotted eighth appears as an eighth note with an sixteenth note rest (after setting Quantize resolution to 16,24). What am I doing wrong?
