Dave,

Another thing to remember is that Sibelius will join tied notes together
during playback, which it certainly won't do if you use slurs instead of
ties.

K,

Got it, and you've seen my post to Dan by now. Wow. My scores must look
pretty darn awful.

Dave,
A few corrections.
1.  If you select one note and hit tie, a tie will be created that dangles
in space because nothing is to the right of the note to which you have
appended the tie.  Only the next note, once created, will be tied to the
first.
2.  To create a slur over multiple notes, select the notes which you wish to
join with a slur and press s.
3.  If you select a group of notes and press the tie button, you will get
all the notes tied together and a dangling tie off the last, right most
note.  However, these ties will not create a slur over all the notes.  What
you will get is a curved line that starts at the first note and stops at the
next note, followed by a new curved line that begins at the second note and
stops at the third.  IN no event would you want to select a group of notes
and join them with a tie as distinct from a slur.  Print guys would never do
that.
K.
