Displaying single notes rather than multiple tied notes....

Hi all,
I feel as though this is a simple problem and that the answer is probably straight-forward, yet still eludes me. For the purpose of displaying (printing) it is desirable sometimes to have multiple tied notes display as a single note. For example, within a measure that has syncopated rhythms, a quarter note inserted in Staff View might display as two tied eighth notes. Is there a workaround or alternative to force the two tied eighth notes to revert back to a quarter note. Though they are essentially the same, sometimes I prefer one over the other. Thanks!

    This is no help but it reminds me of CPA 9 days back in the 1990s. Can't believe it still exists as a problem. The score for a song that I once wrote for piano was printed off and given to my daughters piano teacher and he played it - however it was unrecognisable. 20 years later!

    the staff view is not something that you could compare to something like Sibelius or Finale.  it's basic stuff only just for getting your ideas down.  you can't expect a DAW which costs less than $50 to have a full featured notation program built in.
     
    if you want quality notation, buy Finale or Sibelius.
