Finale: Ties and playback

Odd enough question, but is there a way to make ties appear in my score and have playback ignore them (i.e., play a repeated note even though it's marked as a tie) that isn't simply using a slur?

why not legato slurs?

They don't look the same.

See? Why can't any of the rest of you be smart like that? He's made fools of you all - all!
