Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. I have been trying to get words and music aligned on the engraving so that a word which takes two notes, is aligned correctly. The tilde between two notes, even though they are not the same, will do this and the engraving looks OK, but the error is produced in the log. I obviously need to use slurs. I see now that ties only work when both notes are the same.

    I am using the tilde to tie notes together to match the words.  I

    The engraving comes out ok.  But the log is littered with
    errors.  How can I avoid this problem please?


You're wanting a slur rather than a tie:

a4( g2) e4

Bill, could you be more specific about what you want to achieve?
a4 ~ g2
will always produce an error because you can't tie an a to a g.
But this also won't engrave any curve, so it's not clear what you refer to with "comes out ok".

Best
Urs


Hope this helps,
David
