I have a song in 6/8 with a string arrangement programmed via midi in logic. For most of the song, the strings are just a pad, taking up either a whole or half bar. In the score, a note held for a bar of 6/8 is displayed as a half note , tied with a quarter note. I think it’d really be more preferable to display this as a dotted half note, or a dotted quarter tied with another dotted quarter note, for when I give the score to actual string players to play. Is there a setting that I can change to make this so?
As you see in the photo, there think there are a lot of unnecessary ties in this music and they don’t make sense for how 6/8 music is read, felt.
