How to add notes in irregular places?
I've come across this part in my sheet music and I want to replicate it in MuseScore for playback. But on this part (refer to image) I couldn't find anything on how to add the half note along with the tuplet. If it is possible to do so with playback, please elaborate.
Thanks in advance.
Note: this part of the score is in 3/4 timing.

No that's not it.
You want to look at this handbook page.

Michael, the image she supplied does not contain cross-staff beaming. She wants to know how to notate the bottom staff (half note against the 16-tuplet) only which is voices.

Don't think so, note the missing rest in the upper stave...
See attached, done with cross staff beaming

Since there is no beam crossing the staves, you _don't need_ to go to that complexity to get the desired result, even though some may not see this as technically correct. A single note in the top stave, hide the remaining rest(s), notate the bottom stave with two voices and draw a line from top stave to bottom indicating the hand shift. Same result, easier to enter.
The hardest part by far was how to enter the 16-tuplet. I've never done that before.

Look more carefully - there is no rest in the upper stave and there is a line indicating where the part has gone to

During my attempt I noticed... See attachment.

Looks like 16 over 3 (16:12) to me. There's no space for the initial quarter in the bass line.

Looks right to me, in which case it is using voices and cross-staff-beaming ;-)

Is this by any chance a bar from the Lions section of the Carnival of the Animlas by Camille Saint-Saens?

Voices, tuplets, hide rests, indicator line (not cross-staff beaming)
Voices - 2 voices on the bottom stave.
Tuplets - 16 in the space of 12.
Hide rests - hide rests from the top stave.
The line is just telling you to move your RH down to play the tuplet whilst the left holds the dotted minim (half-note).
Yes, it shouldn't be a quarter-note on the top stave but a much shorter note and basically it could be considered slightly "lazy" scoring IMHO but since music is meant to be indicative rather that dogmatic (you often see sets of four triplets in a piano piece and know that they;re triplets without the score expressly stating it, for instance) I'd let it pass and play it how it sounds and score it thus:

I finally got it to work (with your information).
I never really knew how to use the voices, so thanks again for that.
Keep on faring the music.
