Why do some different voice notes not stack in place?
In the next to last system of this piece, in bass clef bars 4 and 5, the second voice notes don't merge with the first voice notes. I entered the notes before I added the slurs. Offset doesn't merge them.
Is there a way to make these notes look like the rest of the notes?
Thanks, Wizards. You're the best. <3

No idea what next to last system you'rte talking about, that score is in continuous view and as such a single system. And doesn't match the image either. Even in page view there's just one system per page.

Thanks for making me clarify things, Jojo. :)
It's the next to the last system of the original second page, the last eight bars of "piano" continuous view. I haven't hidden all the instruments yet. When it's finished, only the voice and piano will show, but the sound file will have piano muted and the rest of the instruments will play.

The last 8 measures in Piano are empty.

The last eight bars of piano I've entered. I can make things so complicated sometimes.
Let's try something different. I hid the other instruments and scaled it down. Base line bars 60 and 61. <3

These 2?

Why using voices there in the first place?

Yes. Those. I finally communicated it!. Thanks for your patience. And a screen shot is a good idea for me going forward too. :)
This is for Distributed Proofreaders, and ultimately for Project Gutenberg. My Musescore png has to match the original jpg. In this case, a bassoon are the upper notes with stems pointed up and a contra bass are the lower notes with stems pointed down.

And if so, why not just like this?

Or this (swapping voices 1 and 2):

What a good idea, Jojo! I never thought about swapping voices in these bars. I was stuck on why they weren't stacking like the previous bars. Why isn't important. Getting it to work is.
Thanks again. As usual, you are a Master Wizard! <3

The notes show as different colors as I insert them or highlight them. I found the Plugin Manager, clicked colornotes, hit OK; however, nothing changed. I've never used plugins anywhere before. Am I missing something? <3

ColorVoices, not color notes. See https://musescore.org/en/project/color-notes-each-voice
Yes, you see the voices in colow if they are selected, but not in screenshots made with the snapshot tool

Wow! Wizard Honors, Sir! Wizard Honors! <3
Plugin manager calls them colornotes. Is the zip I downloaded something different?
Next question: How do I make the snippet appear inside the post instead of as an attachment?
In reply to Wow! Wizard Honors, Sir!… by judeeylander
Color notes and Color voices are different plugins. The former comes as part of MuseScore, the latter does not and needs to get installed. So yes, that downloaded ZIP is something different.

TADA! Thanks, Jojo. You're the BEST! <3

Hmm, how did you manage this? When I make a selection and then try to use the foto mode, it deselects again
That's why, as a workaround, I've been using the ColorVoices plugin
Or are you not using that foto tool at all? (That camera icon in the toolbar)

I found Image Capture. I didn't know it was there. Thanks again! <3
I used the screenshot on my computer. I used it a lot for other things, so it was a natural choice.

I see, thanks.
@ judeeylander, do you mean the steams?
In reply to @ judeeylander, do you mean… by Shoichi
Not stems, Shoichi. Although there are lots of stems going from the treble into the base staves. I've wondered if that's an indication to play those notes with the left hand on the piano. Makes me think about the piece again. Maybe it IS piano and instruments, not just instruments using piano as a simple scoring guide. Thanks for asking! <3
