Yeah, those typed of curved lines are called slurs, not ties. They look the same though.
So the OP's question, then, would be: How to write slurs in TablEdit? I don't know, I seldom use TablEdit anymore, switched most everything to MuseScore a few years ago because nearly everything (including slurs) is so much easier to write, whereas TablEdit had me perpetually confused and frustrated, but maybe it was just me.
Anyway I found the following, maybe there's a clue in there somewhere, not sure, as usual I have a hard time deciphering what they're talking about...
At a TablEdit manual page, in the Slurs section they mention the word "legato":
"The Legato function allows you to insert an arbitrary arch linking a note to another."
Then that section links to another page which says:
"Legato: This function allows you to insert an arch between two notes. The start is taken from the nearest note. The end point is determinated by the duration of the legato...."
Short on time right now so I haven't fired up TablEdit to try that "legato" thing to see if it will make slurs, might not be the right thing, and even if it is the right thing, the instructions look confusing and I might not even be able to figure it out. Saw a few search-engine mentions elsewhere of people trying to use "legato" to make slurs in TablEdit, they didn't seem too pleased with their results, but that was a much older version of TablEdit, maybe it's improved now? Has someone figured out how to do this?
