Tablature Error When Creating Unison Overlapping Notes
I have been trying to create some unison overlapping notes as shown in the handbook. I first input a set of eighth notes in the first voice. Then I enter the half note for the second voice in the same position as the first eighth note of the first voice. Next I highlight the first eighth note and change the note head to a half note. This results in a proper looking shared note with the head of a half note and bidirectional stems. The problem is that the guitar tablature shows the note as two notes on two strings instead of just one note on one string. Deleting the redundant note from the tablature also deletes it from the standard notation. Am I doing something wrong?

To me that sounds perfectly normal behaviour in that you can play a unison on two strings on the guitar.
Maybe you are trying to produce one of the many conventions seen in classical guitar repertoire where the notation is displayed as a unision in two voices but is actually performed as one note?
Currently I think the only way to achieve this is to use unlinked tablature so that staff and tab are editable separately.
