I'll try to explain and if it doesn't clarify it, I'll figure out how to attach a screen shot. I'm working on a song where the time is 2/4. In the last measure, there's a single eighth note. So the first measure of the song there are three three eighth notes. The software wants to connect the first two eighth notes, but to be technically correct, it should put the FIRST eighth note as separate and connect the last two. Does that make more sense?
