>From a logical point of view you either have no tie, or you have a tie that goes into *all* alternative endings. In other words, 'a tie that goes only into the first alternative' is incorrect. If you have such a situation you should consider changing where the alternatives actually start. Maybe there is a misunderstanding on my side, so please provide an example (with an image) that illustrates what you mean. Werner
