The confusion comes here when two adjacent notes are connected together by something that looks like a tie mark. Notationally, how would you tell the difference?

The problem in Finale is that on the "simple entry" you can turn on the "tie" option for a notehead and it will cheerfully connect them even when it makes no sense, i.e. two different pitches. I would not use "smart shapes" on two adjacent notes.

Obviously bill has not yet received the numerous messages that refute this.

A slur makes sense for violin parts or trombone parrts, but not on piano parts.

Eh? What's the difference? A slur is a slur is a slur, except when it's thought of as a phrase marking. But even that's still a slur!
