Creting triplets of differing notes.
I am trying to fit two melody triplets to four harmony triplets. The program MuseScore 3.4.2.2..., is pushing the last crotchet into the next bar. Is there a way of resolving this perhaps without (messy) sixteenths? Beginner her with this program. Thanks.

Well, something odd has happened. It looks like you have managed to make two 5:4 tuplets but that are labelled as 3:4. Can you remember exactly how you made those tuplets?
Aside, why an initial bar of 1/4 with its duration then adjusted?

I think so. Create the harmony (I did to practice easy triplets with cmd+3). Create the first crotchet then quaver then cmd+3 giving the '3' underneath with bracket, then create the next quaver and crotchet. Stretch the '3' underneath to encompass all four notes. That left a quaver and crotchet rest and I copied the first set into the quaver rest and hey presto! The score I found was in a mess and stuck to a wall as wallpaper (torn out of a book I guess) but looking online I think it is Claydermans Plaisir D'Amour so please tell me why it is constructed thus as I have no idea. Maybe it is non standard? Thanks for looking. I am a beginner piano player for a retirement idea so hoping my 73 year old dyslexic fingers will eventually behave!

You mean the one that starts like this...?

You have created a triplet comprised of a crotchet and quaver, then a 'real' quaver and crotchet, then another triplet etc. and MuseScore has faithfully filled in the notes as you entered them.
One could argue that the original score (if that is the original) could be scored differently.

But I cannot create that third bar melody structure however I start editing from scratch. If a triplet is supposed to be played in the space of one crotchet surely MuseScore should allow this unless the score we are looking at is wrong.

Start with two minim rests in the bar. Click on the first one and press CTRL+3 that will give you a crotchet triplet in the time of the one minim. Enter the desired pitches. Repeat for the second minim rest.

Ah, OK sorry I came in late with my edit. Thanks.
