Q:  I have no problems displaying a dotted-eighth note before a sixteenth note
    However, when I try to reverse the order, sixteenth to dotted-eighth, 
    instead of a dotted-eighth, the program defaults to a sixteenth tied to 
    an eighth note.  I much prefer to see dotted eighths rather than a bunch 
    of tied notes.  Is there a way to override this default?  


A:  Here's how it can be done in 4/4 time:

    1. Enter in the 16th note. You'll be left with a 16th, an 8th and 
       a quarter rest.

    2. Draw in a dotted eighth note right on top of the 16th rest. 
       You should be left with a 16th note barred to a dotted eighth note.

       Make sure you have Beat set to Quarter and Quantization set to 
       Triplet/32nd in Display>Bar.
