Light Cavalry note/timing
I'm transcribing Light Cavalry into Musescore 3 and in measure 10 for the trombones there is a half rest, a quarter rest, a dotted eighth rest, and then a quarter note! It's written in common time, and it looks as though there's only room for a sixteenth note. Of course the program won't let me enter that without slurring into the next measure. I thought at first it was only a typo but it happens too often. Any ideas? Thanks!

Right clicK the measure->Measure properties set the Actual duration.

Why would Suppe write it that way, anyway?
Can you show a picture?
Might be possible to enter by using a tuplet maybe

My guess would be that there are a couple of flags missing from the first crotchet (quarter note) and it should be a semiquaver (1/16th). Perhaps there is another edition available on IMSLP that you could compare.

You know, I was thinking that too, except that it happens three times.
Someone did Leicht Kavallerie here but used different instruments than the sheet music I found. I can look for another version.

I found what looks very like the edition you posted a small extract from. Here is a bigger extract. it is clear that in the woodwind parts, the note is definitely a semiquaver. The crotchet in the brass must be an error. Just because a score is published doesn't mean it is error free (Kalmus publications are notoriously flakey for example.)

Thanks for everyone's help!
While we're here, how do I change the key signature for the French horn and trumpet?

If you mean you want them to be notated with no key signature as these, add the "atonal" key signature from the palette so it doesn't transpose, and do it while holding Ctrl so it only affects the specific staff you are adding it to.

Thanks a lot, that worked perfectly!
