Hi,
The picture shows how when adding grace notes to the 2nd voice it moves the B note (1st voice) to the left. Sibelius is aligning the first of the group of grace-notes with the B (example 2 and 3). This would not be a problem if the tie would also adjust and go from the 1st B and land on the 2nd B, instead it lands past the 2nd B. This makes it look like an expression slur, not a Tie. It confuses the player: should the B be played twice or is it tied? And looks wrong, not good for publishing.
Logically Sibelius should have the tie follow the note, regardless where the note moves. But since that is not happening, perhaps I can try to give it a command to place the grace notes before the beat, so that the main note E is right on the beat, and not the grace notes. Does anyone know how to do that? Any other solutions to this problem?

Using Sib 6
Thanks
