This is on 2.0 beta 1.

Steps to reproduce:

On a staff (I used guitar), create a half note. Select the half note, and then use the up and down arrow keys to move the note by half steps. Note that each time the note changes, the new pitch sounds.

Now create a tied note. I did this by inserting an eighth rest after the half note, then an eighth note on the and of 3 tied to a quarter note on 4. Leave note entry mode and click on the note head of the first note in the tie (the eighth note). Use the up and down arrow keys to move the note by half steps. Note that both notes in the tie move properly together, but the new pitch does not sound each time.

I suppose we *could* simply choose to play the first selected note we find in all cases (well, if selection is not range anyhow). Might be weird to have that happen in other multi-selections, but still, it might be seen as a fair trade off.

Eventually, we could go through the selection, stop if we find something that is not a note, and not of the pitch of the first note we found. That will work for tied notes, it will also sound if an action is made on all notes of the same pitch at the same time.
