"1 and a" rhythm notation problems
http://i.imgur.com/FtLeNtH.png
Why is there two connected parts in the second measure? I'm trying to write "1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a". I've tried redoing it plenty of times.

I guess, you want it to be like this?
Select the notes on 2 and 4
Then click on Palettes (F9 if not already shown) | Beam Properties | DoubleClick on the first entry (Beam Start).
Olivo's solution is correct, but what's confusing is why that's happening in the first place. I just tried it and that problem doesn't show up. Could you attach the MSCZ file with the problem?

...was confusing to me, too. Give us the file
1+a 2+a is a triple pattern, not duple.
See this: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tuplet-0
it may help.

Think 1_+a2_+a ; 1 (eighth) + (sixteenth) a (sixteenth). The "e" is not stated because no note starts there. This is a question about why beams are connected in the second measure.

No way for futher discussion IMO until we get the file. We don't even know OP's time signature, do we?

It's stated as a triplet problem. There is no underscore in the text. 12/8.
Hi everyone, here is the file. It is a marching snare staff and the time signature should be 4/4.
Also, I was able to edit it by selecting ones from the beam properties section in the palette. But it continues to do it the original way when I first write it.
I think I may have a clue now, this happens when I write just eight eighth notes:

It makes it into two sections of four. Is this the default behavior?

I'm completely wrong. I didn't notice the link. :(

I tried to enter this pattern in YOUR original score. Same behaviour. But if I do a new file in MS 2.02 it works as expected. Is it possible, that you work with a template made with an older version of musescore?

How do I reset my template? I just tried creating a new score and it works like I'd expect now. How do I reset this for this file?
Edit: Also, im on musescore 2.02 as well. I have the Mike Scorsche drumline soundfont as the soundfont for this file but that is the only thing I remember changing.

Open your posted file, 'Bassline Buildup Exercises.mscz'.
Drag the 4/4 time signature to a staff.
The beams in question should adjust.
