Is there an accepted standard approach to tonguing with a tied note passage?
For example: Quarter note tied to a sixteenth, followed by 3 sixteenths.
Do you use a KTK articulation on the 3 sixteenths, or some other strategy?
Thanks!

In that situation and similar I almost always do TTK.

Re: Double Tonguing with a Tied Note Pattern
I would make an automatic decision on the fly as to what would work better, based on the phrasing and what the actual notes are. And I think in terms of D and G, not T and K. Thinking about it, if the first articulated 16th after the tie is a lower note, I typically would use GDG, and if it's a higher note I would use DDG
