How to separate note values
I am trying to figure out how to separate the note values within a measure on the same staff; i.e. the lower notes are eighth notes and the upper note is a sustained half or whole note. By the way, I am really enjoying this program and look forward to learning more about how to use it as I go.
When adding voices I noticed that it does not give an option for two voices to share a staff (Sop/Alto and Tenor/Bass). I don't want to take up so much room on my music and would like them to share two staffs rather than a four (one for each voice). Of course, when they share a staff the issue mentioned above comes into play.

I posted earlier about note values but got no responses. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough.
I want one voice to sustain a note with a half or whole note while there are moving eighth notes below it on the same staff. How can I do this?

That you read Voices as per Lasconic, above.

Thanks! I had not seen the suggestion earlier. I will take time to read it. My first perusal of it looks exactly like what I am looking for!
