There may be a way to do this that someone else knows, but I have not had success using the tie tool when something like a key change gets in the way. Instead, when the tie tool does not work for a backwards tie end, I simply draw one with the slur tool. It's not the most elegant solution but, if you draw carefully, you cannot tell much difference.
One other possibility: you may have too small a setting for Document Options/Ties - system break start. If this is too small, the tie end will not extend far enough backwards over the preceding bar line. I use at least a -48 setting here.

Hi All:Chuck Israels
How do I put a tie end at the beginning of a line when the key signature changes.
I know that you can put a tie end in place by clicking on a note with option. It gives you a large number of options, one of which is "tie end". I can't get it to work with a key change.
I am using FinMac 2005 with OS 10.
Thanks;
