Inserting a note will only cause you grief. Rewrite instead.

Thank you for answering me. As you ask, I give you more information.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'll give you an example in the attached mscz file. In measure 2, I would like to insert an E between the D and the F. If I click on the note F and I put myself in note insertion mode by pressing the N key. If I now type an E, this E will replace the F, but that's not what I want. I would like to insert an E between D and F and push all the following notes. You tell me that inserting a note could only cause me harm and that it's better to rewrite. But that would mean that to add a single note to the second measure, I would have to rewrite the whole score!!! I'm sure there must be an easier way!

Don't use the Insert Mode for that. Instead:
1.Select the F, measure 2 (click) to G, first beat measure 23 (Shift + click)
2. Cut (Ctrl/Cmd + X)
3. Input your E as wished
4. Paste (Ctrl + V) the selection on the half rest (third beat measure 2)
(Steps 3 and 4 can be reversed, no matter)

Sorry my answer was not very good. The above C+P answer is of course the correct one. I had little idea of your situation. Most people that ask a question like yours have only written a measure or two. Then they want to insert a note in the first measure. My point was that insert is almost never a good idea, That's why I needed more information.
