Newbie question
I am copying a measure from a guitar piece I am working on into Musecore. There are two voices, the first has the two half notes. The second voice consists of all of the other notes. For voice 2, Musecore wants to start measure 2 with the fourth quarter note from measure 1. I've attached a screen shot. Would appreciate any suggestions. I cant imagine this being a bug, rather than a misunderstanding on my part.
Thanks,
Carlos

Quit note input mode;
From the toolbar select the duration.
Maybe I did not understand? In the case I apologize.
Could you attach the actual .mscz file as well?

There is a misunderstanding indeed.
The voices should be organized like this in this Andante (La Catedral/Barrios). See the image below. And the test file .mscz: Catedral.mscz

I am using Richard Stover's edition, which I believe is in agreement with my original post. I will color code the voices and upload the .mscz file shortly.

As you can see/hear from my attached .mscz file, Musecore does not let me include the fourth quarter note for the second voice in measure 1. I places it in measure 2. When I play it back with a metronome, the metronome sounds out the fourth quarter note in measure 1, but the quarter note is not played until the second measure.

Works fine here: see your file, with the same measure re-entered in measure 3: La_Catedral_0-21.mscz
Delete this measure, re-try in the order (eg voice 1, then voice 2) and all will go fine.

Thanks...I had tried copying and pasting into other measures with no luck. I just wanted to see what this sounds like at low tempo for practising the piece so that solves my immediate concerns. However Musescore-wise, it seems like it ought to work in measure 1.

It is attached, it is measure 21 of Richard Stover's edition of "La Catedral" (Belwin-Mills, 1979).

Yes, it is depending the publishers. I use the revision by Alirio Diaz (Zanibon), or by Eythor Thorlaksson (the only difference: the dots or not in Voice 1)
So, it's a personal choice, there is many cases like this in the repertoire of Agustin Barrios.

It seems perhaps you inadvertently deleted the note on beat 4 in voice 2, which replaces it with a rest, and then inadvertently deleted the rest as well, leaving a "hole" there. Easiest way to recover is to click the quarter note on beat 3 and press "6" to change it to a half, thus reclaiming the hole. You can then change it back to a quarter and the rest will now be intact.

I do recall deleting some rests. Thank you.
