Logic Pro 9 Tied note problem unwanted result.

[uncle808us]

I have read the manual and am having a problem with my tied note result. I drag the duration bar past the end of the measure to try and get a eighth note tied to a half note but the result is a sixteenth tied to a half with a sixteenth note rest at the end of the bar. I have tried this over and over with the same result.
Can anyone see by the attached image what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

I'd look in the piano roll and find out if one of the notes in the chord is a little shorter than the others, causing Logic to 'interpret' it as your unwanted result is indicating. I could be wrong, but that's where I would look first.

That is a good idea. I finally got it working. Thank you next time I will look there.
