After going through all the tutorials and going through the how-to's that I could understand I am still confused on how to use this software. Finding it extremely difficult on how to put multiple notes for a single measure.

Please see attached screenshots. "Notes_I_Want_To_Write" is what I am trying to do with the software. "What_I_keep_getting" is my attempts and mimicing those notes. The software just will not let me create it. It's becoming frustrated as I have to fight the software to maintain the bottom notes while I am trying to insert the top notes.

Can someone show me how to do this?

Thanks in advanced!

The best way is to put the top notes in voice 1 and bottom notes in voice 2. Since the notes are already entered you can exchange voices 1 & 2 using Edit->Voices->Exchange 1-2. If anything is turned the wrong way, I would first select it and press ctrl+r to return it to its original position, then select it and press x to turn it upside down if needed. This works for notes, and slurs.

Edit: one more thing, since the notes are the same pitch use a tie rather than a slur. Delete the slur, select the first note and press + to get a tie.
