Regression

I was unable to check

Operating system

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.4

Additional context

Found when fixing TablEdit tie import issues.

Suspect the root cause for the issue is in function addTies() in file src/engraving/dom/excerpt.cpp, which gets called for each note in order of track followed by tick. The function assumes the note forward tie link has been encountered before it sees the backward tie link. This assumption does not hold for the attached file, which explains why the first tie is handled correctly, but the second is not.
