Help!
I cannot read music.
A friend scored a song for me manually(in his own writing)
I want to copy it in Musescore 3 and I can't.....after a zillion attempts.
In the first bar there is an F# key signature, the a cut C, then a quarter rest, then an eighth rest
and then two D notes tied together just under the bottom line of the cleft, then an E note.
In the second bar there only quarter notes.
Help me please.

You seem to have a pretty good handle on the teminology, so searching the handbook should be useful to you.

Thanks guys.
I can't notate and I can't call myself a player but there are things that I understand in music.
Right now am trying to understand chords.
So can I digress by asking what chord is Ab(lowest note) then C Eb A Bb in that order?

I'm not sure how the PDF relates to the chord, but the chord is an Ab with a 7 & 9, though the 7 is normally omitted in notation, so it's normally notated the same was as the previous one.

Am confusing you guys.
The PDF is a separate blues song I tried.
That chord is the second to last chord in a song which ends on G.

The notes Ab - C - Eb - G - Bb form an Abmaj9th chord.
A flat major ninth

Thank you.
People tell me that I have good ears.
I picked out that chord by sound.
I just couldn't name it.
