marching bass
Is there a way that I can write out all of the 5 basses notes at one time (it's a unison rhythm) I get tired of writing out every single basses note for one rhythm especially on cadences

If you mean a 5 note chord with the same rhythm you can put all 5 notes into a chord (press shift + the note name for the 2nd - 5th notes). Put them in the top staff. All 5 staves must be listed in the instruments one after the other, you cannot have any hidden staves between them. Select the section with all of the chords then click in the menus edit->Tolls->explode and the chord will be spread out among the 5 instruments. If you need the exact same note on 2 instrument, say an A, use the note twice (shift-A then shift-A again) then press ctrl-down arrow so the 2 notes will be on the same line. If you have a cadence where all 5 play the same note over and over, you can shift click the chord, ctrl-c to copy it then click the destination and ctrl-v to paste it. If you have 1 measure repeated over and over on 5 different instruments you can select the first instruments measure (click in a space between the notes) then shift click the last instruments measure and you can copy and paste entire measures, or even shift click multiple measures....

How did you get to marching bass in the first place? I can't find a way to create a part for the bass line. (Hope that makes sense)

Are you referring to a bass drum, double bass, bass guitar, or some other bass instruments? Either way, type "bass" into the search box when choosing instruments to see all instruments with the word "bass" in the name.

I meant a bass line (bass drums), but I got it figured it out. Thanks! :)
If you know how to edit sound fonts, you can try what I did.
I modified a sound font and added a single note that was a recording of all 5 basses. Then assigned that sound to a new note buy editing drum set and notated by a slash. I did the same thing for unison rims
