the length of the next part of the note, and press the key. Or move the cursor to the tie symbol and
press 'SELECT' (or the left mouse button). A blue cursor will appear over the tie symbol, in addition

MIDI keyboard will enter further tied notes.
Be sure to turn off the tie function (in the same way you turned it on) after entering your tied note, or
all subsequent pressings of keys on the MIDI keyboard will produce more tied notes at the same pitch
as the original note, even though you may hear other pitches as you press the keys.
