Having hard time creating a piece of score.
Hi Dear,
Please, could you help me writting this piece of score. I'm attaching 2 pictures where I describe what is the issue.
Picture 1: I show you my progress creating this score, notice that the score with red circle no able to reproduce as I want as it shown in Picture 2.
Picture 2: The score that I want to produce.
Please describe me how you create similar score using shortcuts with number 2 and 3 prior to place the notes. I tried several ways unsussesfully.
Thank you very much for your help.
Silver.

Press - 3 - the first two notes - 2 - the second two notes - 3 - the third two notes.
Maybe that you need to adjust the beams - I'm away from my desktop computer!

Thank you, I'm very close, but still betwen 2 and 3er note is not closing. See picture

That's what I mean with "adjusting beams"!
I think (I'm not on my computer) you must select the third note, go to the beams palette and press the item with left and right beams.

Thank you. It's almost what I need. I'm not following you, what is the beams palette. Attached image of all palettes, I don't see what is the beam one.

Maybe you need ‘Add palettes’?

No, he is totally wrong. NOT Palette, he must go to "Properties"!!

If you don't see the Beams palette click on the Add palettes button shown at the top of your picture. Then click on the + sign next to the Beam properties palette.

No, not "Palette". The Properties Menu of the Note.

OMG, totally wrong.
NOT(!!!) Palette.
Goto "Properties". On the left is "Palette" (wrong), "Layout" (wrong), "Properties" (right!!!!).
![beam.png]( "beam.png")
There is "Note" Properties "Head", "Stem", "Beam". Click "Beam".
There "Beam Types" Appear. Starting with "AUTO", then 5 different Buttons. Press the LAST BUT ONE OR THE LAST.

Thank you all you guys trying to help me. I see that you was able to build it. But I'm trying with beam properties still unsusessfully. See image attached. Also I don't undestand why the previous score I was able to build it easily just using 2 and 3 shortcuts, but this one is so...
In reply to Thank you all you guys… by solersilver
You changed the values of the notes:
1) The 3rd note is "d" now instead of "e".
2) The 4th note is "d" now instead of "f".
3) The duration of the 4th note is 16th now, instead of needed 32th.
4) The 5th note now is "e" instead of "f".
Why??
What are you doing?? You should click the "e" only, nothing else. Then click the proper Beam type. Dont change anything else.
Of course i can again ask you to click this or that note, but you dont do it. I cannot help any further, as you seem to click around wildly.

The Properties are ALWAYS available, the Palette has to be added (thats the problem here). Per default, the Beam Palette is not installed (see Picture 5.jpg).

Trying to adopt an easy method. For example if I have all 6 notes 16th(see attached image), and I want to interplace an 32th note. What to do?

No. Wrong. There are 5(!!!!) notes 16th only (count yourself!) and a rest. You now understand why it is sooo hard to help you? So where shall we start??

see.Thanks.
In reply to see.Thanks. by solersilver
see Video
It is not clear from your description what you want. Picture 2 does not show the pitches. Do you want the notes all at the same pitch or do you want the pitches as shown in the first groups of Picture 1 (CDEFF) but with the rhythm in picture 2, or something else.
Also it is not clear what input device you are using, PC keyboard, Midi keyboard, Mouse?
If you are using the PC keyboard first you select the duration of the note to be entered and next press the shortcut for any accidental (+ for sharp, - for flat, = for natural are the defaults) followed by the note name A to G. For duration, the keyboard shortcuts are
1 sixty fourth note (hemidemisemiquaver)
2 thirty second note (demisemiquaver)
3 sixteenth note (semiquaver)
4 eighth note (quaver)
5 quarter note (crotchet)
6 half note (minim)
7 whole note (semibreve),

Ohh, The picture 2 is not displaying what I mean to build. Anyway the new attached image is displaying almost what I need, I just no able to close with 16th tone, between 2 and 3er note with Hildek recomendations.
Thank you,
Silver.

But the timing and the note durations are correct, only the beams are different.

Click the 'e' (32th note) only, then proceed to the Properties menu left, click "Beam" and then click the 4th "Beam type" symbol from left (last but one). You may also click the last symbol (both work for me).
If in doubt, try all of the Beam Types. One of these should work.

Be my guest. Go to the Properties tab if you want. Nothing wrong with that. But going to the Beams palette isn't wrong either. In fact, if the problem involves beams, why wouldn't we go to the beams palette. The OP didn't have that palette set up. They should. There is more than one way to do most things in MuseScore. In fact, if the beams palette is set up, it is the same number of steps to fix this particular problem. Three.

You meet the user where they are.
The properties are hard-wired. The palette is not; it has to be added. As you can see, he didn't manage to do that. "They should" does not help, they arent.
Why should I torment him with it when the properties are simply available without installation? You should make it as easy as possible for the user. Obviously, he is having a hard time anyway. I hope the video helps.
In reply to You meet the user where they… by rhalstenbach
But freaking out the way you did, hardly was of any help. No one knew at first the OP didn't have the Beams palette active. Then you insist that anyway other than Properties is wrong.
Properties is not hard-wired. You have to activate that tab. Just like the Beams palette.
Telling other people that are trying to help, over and over that they are totally wrong, is just rude.
If the beam palette was not able to do what was needed, well that might be different

>hardly was of any help.
OMG... where is your help?
>If the beam palette was not able to do what was needed, well that might be different
Exactly what happened. From the view of "solversilver" the beam palette was not able to do anything - as there is no beam palette (see Picture 5.jpg). And thats the difference to the hard coded properties - when you activate a note, the beam properties become available. Not so for the beam palette - it has to be added before, activating a note is not sufficient. What nobody told to "solversilver".

Yes, and right after picture 5, the OP was instructed how to add the palette. Then you charged in and insisted that everyone was wrong...several times. Anyone who tried to help after that was told they were wrong. No one could say anything without being told they were wrong.
Where was my help? Really? Anything I could have said would just have been labeled as "wrong".
Of course the OP didn't need the beams palette to fix their problem. But in the future, if they have beam problems, they will probably go to that palette. That's what palettes are for. There are many things Properties can't do. We all use both all the time.

No, my answer was late 1 minute, but i draw the picture WAY before.

Interesting that you still don't get it.
