Dotted Eighth Note is Displayed as a Quarter Note in Staff View.

This is a guitar track using the Octave Treble Clef.
 
If I put a dotted eighth note in the piano roll view it is displayed as a quarter note in the staff view. If I put a sixteenth note after it then it changes to a dotted eighth. If it is the last quarter of a measure it should just add a sixteenth rest, but it does not. In the piano roll view the duration is 720. I tried changing it to 750 and 0.750, that did not help.
 
Also, the TAB view keeps changing the notes back to the lowest string. I open the properties of the note in piano roll view and when I change the string the fret changes automatically, but it does not save it.
 
Thanks,
Ernie

    In the menu, uncheck "Fill Duration". I'm pretty sure that's it.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Yes, that’s what it was. I saw that setting, but I thought that it meant it would fill in the rests not more notes.
     
    Thank you very much!

    Glad you got it solved.  There is also a Display Resolution setting that can mess you up.

    Yes, now that you mention it I can see that if the notes get too close together it messes it all up.
     
    Thanks Konrad!
