I did that, but the console is empty.

I stepped through the whole thing (it's short), and saw no such message in the 
status bar, just stuff like "1: Note: Staff X Measure Y Object Z Not Appending".

There aren't any ties or slurs. I also grepped through the .denemo XML file, 
and the word "slur" or "tie" does not appear anywhere.

Since there are so many keyboard equivalents, it's entirely possible that I 
meant to hit control-x and hit x by mistake, or some such thing.

we're both awake.

Might just do that, thanks! Although, I am curious what went wrong and how I 
can avoid it.
