Moving beam bars
It's easy to make this with one beam bar. Not with many bars.

MuseScore doesn't easily let you do that. You would have to cheat by adding lines or by adding another note in a second voice and using it's lines.
I'm not exactly sure I understand what you are trying to do. You want to connect the first three notes with a single beam, but you also want to do it with that "between the heads" approach (as you have done in the next two notes) rather than just using a standard above-the-heads beam as ordinary music engraving conventions would call for?
If so, then a bug in does indeed yield the results you show in your picture. You're *much* better off simply not doing that. But I guess the above shows you a workaround should you really want to do it anyhow.
FWIW, a more or less identical bug is reported here: #18153: Beam placed in middle between high and low notes causes part of beam to be incorrectly positioned.

Thanks.
You did write: "You're *much* better off simply not doing that...". Yeah. I know that. But it's essential in Bach's or Vivaldi's works. Werner did it easily. My program's version is 1.3 for Windows XP.

I assume you mean the issue in the tracker. Most discussions there relate not to the current 1.3 version, but to the next version under developmenet. As the comments there show, there are some cases of this sort of thing that can be done in the development version, but others that can't. Your specific example is still broken in the development version.
Btw, just because some particular editor chose to use this notation in a Bach piece doesn't mean it is essential that you copy how that editor chose to do it. Chances are it's perfectly possible to notate the passage more traditionally. Although no doubt there are some passage that might be easier to lay out this way.
