How to bring a note from a second measure into the first one?

• Dec 22, 2012 - 04:10

I can't write a song correctly in notes/tones and rythm from the first time.
I just start writing notes without caring about the rythm and then I add the text under every note and then I start correcting the rythm. I've shortened the notes in the first measure and I need the notes from the second measure to come into the first. Instead musescore adds rests to the notes in the first measure.
How can I bring a note from a second measure into the first one?

In 1.2 the way to move notes in this way is to use cut and paste to move the notes where you want them:-

This video shows how: http://www.screenr.com/E7C7

In the treble stave the first G is too long so it is edited to be a crotchet (quarter note) which leaves a rest on the last beat.

Cut and paste is then used to move the remaining notes into their correct positions.
